Integrative Pediatric Therapy

About Me

Sally Fryer Dietz, PT., DPT, CST-D, SIPT Cert. is the Founder and Director of Integrative Pediatric Therapy (IPT) and Integrative Concussion Therapy (ICT)in Dallas, Texas. Both practices are official Upledger affiliated clinics specializing in integrative and individualized approaches to treatment. Her team consists of 25 licensed physical & occupational therapists specializing in pediatrics, visual and vestibular rehab, CranioSacral, Visceral & Lymphatic Drainage, feeding therapy, concussion, lifespan, sports enhancement, fall prevention & the Schroth method for scoliosis. Her pediatric practice specializes in the treatment of children with learning differences, autism, developmental disabilities, scoliosis, feeding problems, genetic & behavioral disorders. Her concussion practice focuses on providing patients of all ages with individualized, comprehensive, concussion prevention & recovery treatment. This includes manual therapy as above, baseline testing, sports enhancement, visual & vestibular rehab, Dynavision, RightEye and Interactive Metronome, as well as health & wellness for the lifespan program and fall prevention. Sally founded IPT with a vision for combining multi-disciplinary therapies to help children establish a strong foundation for development and growth. Integrative Concussion Therapy was developed after observing the similarities in symptoms between children with visual and vestibular deficits, and a person with a concussion. With over 38 years of experience in the field of Pediatrics, she continues to see the benefits derived from integrated therapies designed to meet a child's individual needs.
