Where Helping Kids Thrive Is Just the Beginning
What does a day look like when your “office” is a therapy gym filled with kids, toys, and endless possibility? For Megan Ozimek, a pediatric physical therapist at Ivy Rehab for Kids in Canton, MI, each day is an energetic mix of creativity, connection, and care – and no two are ever quite the same.

Morning: Getting Ready to Make a Difference
The day starts with purpose – and usually a plan. Megan reviews her schedule, preps her space, and gets ready to support a wide range of kiddos. One session might involve helping a toddler build strength after a growth delay. The next? Supporting a teen recovering from a sports injury.
At Ivy Rehab for Kids, pediatric PTs use everything from toys to obstacle courses to engage their patients. It’s all about creating a welcoming, playful environment where therapy doesn’t feel like work – it feels like fun. And behind every game is a goal: mobility, independence, and confidence.
Midday: Collaboration and Connection
As the morning flows into the afternoon, the team vibe kicks into high gear. Megan regularly partners with occupational therapists, speech therapists, and other specialists on shared treatment goals. This whole-child, whole-team approach is at the core of how we care.
Lunchtime often means laughing with coworkers, sharing tips, or brainstorming new treatment ideas. At Ivy, you’re not just part of a clinic – you’re part of a connected network of passionate professionals helping kids thrive across 180+ locations.
Afternoon: Progress, Play, and a Few Surprises
This is when the real magic happens. Whether it’s a child taking their first steps or mastering a tricky balance move, the afternoon is all about momentum and mini milestones. It’s high energy, hands on, and full of surprises – because kids don’t always stick to the plan (and that’s okay).
Megan stays flexible and creative, often adapting in the moment to match a child’s mood, energy, or needs. At Ivy, we believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and our therapists are empowered to think outside the box to help every child shine.
Evening: Wrapping Up and Reflecting
As the clinic winds down, there’s a moment to pause. Megan updates her notes, chats with caregivers, and prepares for tomorrow. The progress may be small day-to-day, but it adds up to something big – more confidence, more independence, more joy.
And that’s what keeps her coming back each morning with renewed energy and heart.
