Pediatric Physical Therapy in East Hampton: Expert Care Without the Long Drive

For families in East Hampton, Bridgehampton, and Amagansett, finding a board-certified pediatric physical therapy specialist often means driving all the way to Stony Brook or even into Suffolk County. Not anymore.

Dr. Tara Liddle, board-certified pediatric physical therapy specialist with over 30 years of experience, brings one-on-one, private pediatric PT to the East End. Parents from East Hampton, Sag Harbor, and Wainscott have discovered they don’t have to leave the Hamptons to get world-class care for their child.

A Word from Dr. Tara Liddle

“I have worked with families across Long Island for decades. One thing I hear over and over is how hard it is to find specialized pediatric therapy out here without a two-hour round trip. That is why I am committed to serving the East End. Your child deserves expert care, and you deserve the convenience of staying in your community.”

Pediatric Physical Therapy Evaluation and Treatment

Dr. Liddle has spent over three decades working with children who have a variety of diagnoses, including developmental coordination disorder, hypotonia, genetic conditions, gross motor delays, and balance challenges. She offers something that is rare on the East End: truly specialized pediatric physical therapy without the long drive.

What to expect:

  • A compassionate, thorough evaluation in your East Hampton home or at a location that works for you

  • One-on-one, private sessions designed around your child’s specific needs

  • Treatment that is playful, evidence-based, and family-centered

  • Clear communication about what to work on between sessions

“I have seen children take their first steps, learn to ride a bike, and keep up with their friends on the beach,” Dr. Liddle says. “That never gets old.”

Playful Beginnings Wellness Consultations

If your baby was born prematurely, had a difficult birth, or just seems a little behind on milestones, you may be wondering: Is this normal? When should I worry?

Playful Beginnings consultations are designed for exactly that situation.

Dr. Liddle and Dr. Catherine will:

  • Watch your baby move and play (in person or via video)

  • Give you a clear picture of where your child is developmentally

  • Provide specific, playful activities to support motor growth

  • Help you understand what milestones to expect and when

East Hampton parents love the convenience of Playful Beginnings. You can schedule a consultation without disrupting your whole week, and you will walk away with a plan you feel good about.

Personalized Virtual Consultations with a Pediatric PT

Live in East Hampton full time? Here just for the summer? Either way, virtual consultations with Dr. Liddle are a flexible, high-value option.

Here is how it works:

  • You schedule a video call or send a video of your child playing

  • Dr. Liddle reviews and provides detailed recommendations

  • You get a written plan with specific activities, toy suggestions, and milestone guidance

  • All recommendations are tailored to your child’s age, your price range, and even your home decor style

“Many of my East Hampton families start with a virtual consultation to see if we are a good fit,” Dr. Liddle explains. “Then, if they want in-person sessions, we can do those too. It is the best of both worlds.”
