To provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps every child reach their fullest potential. We empower families through education, encouragement, and collaboration—because meaningful progress happens when caregivers and therapists work together.

At the heart of South Coast Pediatric Physical Therapy is a team of experienced, licensed professionals who care deeply about every child they serve. Many of our therapists have been part of the SCPPT family for 10 years or more, offering not only clinical expertise but also continuity, compassion, and lasting relationships with the families they support.

Our multidisciplinary staff includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists—each highly trained in pediatric development and rehabilitation. Together, they bring decades of combined experience and advanced certifications across a range of disciples.

What sets our team apart is more than expertise—it’s the way they connect with children and families. Every therapist approaches care with patience, creativity, and genuine joy, turning therapy into play and progress into possibility.

Founded in 1989 by Laurie and Jerry Beeler, SCPPT has long been known for its clinical excellence, long-term staff, and family-centered care. The Beelers built a clinic that felt like a community—a place where children were known by name and parents felt supported on every step of their journey.

In October 2025, the Beelers passed the torch to Dr. Jonathan Baik, PT, DPT, a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Pediatric Physical Therapy who has served at SCPPT for over a decade. Under Jonathan’s leadership, the clinic continues its proud legacy while modernizing systems, expanding services, and enhancing the family experience. Jonathan and his wife, Ashley, are honored to serve the SCPPT community and committed to upholding SCPPT’s reputation for warmth, integrity, and professional excellence.

We believe every child has incredible potential. Through individualized, play-based therapy and strong family partnerships, we help children build strength, confidence, and independence.
