Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Neeble.
Hi Amy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I found my way into pediatric physical therapy somewhat unexpectedly after moving to Chandler, Arizona, in the summer of 1996. At the time, every position I applied for encouraged me to reapply in October, once the snowbirds returned. In the meantime, I applied to a pediatric therapy clinic and immediately connected with the owner, who was also a pediatric physical therapist. That experience sparked what would become a lifelong passion for pediatric care.
When I returned to Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1998, I briefly contracted with the CDSA and the Cheshire Center. Soon after, I felt called to build something of my own and, in 2002, established my pediatric physical therapy business as a sole proprietor. For many years, I provided home-based therapy in both private homes and daycare settings, serving children from birth to five years old.
In 2018, I took a leap of faith and opened my first clinic in Asheboro, North Carolina. While I was nervous about whether it would succeed, the clinic grew quickly, and within just a few months I hired my first employee. Continued growth led to the opening of a second clinic in Wallburg, within Winston-Salem, where I expanded services to include pediatric occupational therapy.
In 2024, I opened a third clinic in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was there that I decided to add speech therapy, allowing us to offer truly comprehensive pediatric services. We have recently welcomed two speech therapists to our team—one specializing in feeding therapy and the other in augmentative communication—further strengthening our ability to support children and families across a wide range of needs.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Along the way, I faced significant challenges, particularly building and growing a business without a formal business background. I learned many lessons through experience, problem-solving, and perseverance. One of my greatest blessings has been the mother of one of my former premature patients, who became my administrative lead and an essential part of the practice’s success. Her business savvy, organization, and ability to manage the many moving parts of a growing clinic have kept our operations on track, and her steady support has grounded me emotionally through both stressful and rewarding seasons. Another major challenge came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we transitioned briefly to virtual therapy. After eight weeks, we made the difficult but intentional decision to return to face-to-face care, recognizing that in-person therapy was more effective for our pediatric patients. Navigating that period tested our resilience, but it ultimately strengthened our commitment to providing the highest quality care.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
specialize in birth-to-3 pediatric therapy and have spent the past 29 years building a comprehensive toolbox of skills tailored to young children’s developmental needs. I’ve found that many infants with motor delays also experience sensory challenges, and I incorporate targeted sensory input into my sessions to support optimal motor development. Building strong, trusting relationships with caregivers is a cornerstone of my approach, as their active participation in carrying over strategies between sessions is critical to each child’s success. Now, as the owner of three clinics, I focus on creating warm and welcoming environments that foster independence and confidence in both children and their families. In my newest clinic in Greensboro, NC, for example, the waiting room features an immersive aquarium mural with 3D resin sea creatures that children can touch and explore, making learning and therapy both engaging and interactive.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
I welcome collaboration with anyone interested in exploring the most effective ways to support children with developmental disabilities. I believe it’s valuable to consider a variety of approaches—such as pediatric massage, chiropractic care, aquatic therapy, and hippotherapy—to enhance children’s functional independence and ensure families have access to all available options.
