Parent Testimonies

“I cannot express enough the appreciation that I have towards Treehouse. My son is developing physically with better motor skills and strength.  He would not have had this opportunity to participate in therapy anywhere else here in Bend if we had used up all of his therapy visits for the year. Again, I am so thankful that Treehouse has given us the scholarships to continue my son’s therapy.”

“My son, “Chris,” has cerebral palsy.  He is…limited in many sports due to his disability.  This limitation causes a great deal of emotional pain for him.  He just wants to fit in. Treehouse has helped to alleviate some of this frustration while also helping him to get stronger and learn to manipulate his body to do the things he wants to do.  When “Chris” is at Treehouse, nothing else matters.  He gains confidence from being able to complete the day’s obstacle course.  Hearing his excitement as he tells me about his accomplishments and what he overcame that day gives me the most incredible feeling.   In addition to his growing confidence, he is physically getting stronger. Our family has seen amazing growth in “Chris” since he started at Treehouse.   He is now able to catch a ball, briefly stand on his own, climb onto swings, get his socks on and off by himself, pull his pants up… and much more.  “Chris” is very stubborn, and both physical and occupational therapy are a lot of work.  During sessions, “Chris” is often pushed out of his comfort zone… All kids deserve to have something that makes them stronger both mentally and physically…When asked why he loves Treehouse, “Chris” exclaimed, “It never gets boring!”  Our family feels so blessed that “Chris” is an active participant at Treehouse Therapies.”

“My daughter… slowly lost all of her learned abilities to walk and talk [around] age 2.  We came into Treehouse after her previous therapist retired, and it was the best move we could have made. Christen [a physical therapist] was so diligent to take every precaution with [my daughter] and her unique needs. She knew that water therapy would be the best for her and made sure that she was always seen in the pool… With the help of Christen, Treehouse, and the scholarship fund, [my daughter] is able to be seen on a weekly basis, regardless of our insurance.  [She] loves her days in the pool, by far her best day of the week!  She can relax, her muscles loosen and she isn't having spasms; she knows she's safe. There's something truly spiritual about watching [my daughter] in the pool really let go. As a mom, I know that [she] is always in good hands at Treehouse.”

“Treehouse Therapies and the effect they have had on our family is not something that can easily be described in a few sentences…. We cannot thank them enough for the work they provide our family both in the clinical setting and through the guidance and support that they have offered us as parents as we have had to navigate the complex medical and financial world when dealing with our daughter’s continued health concerns.  We will be forever grateful for the positive changes they have made and continue to make for our family and families like ours in Central Oregon.”

“It's a bit challenging to articulate exactly how appreciative I am for all of the services and support that are offered through Treehouse Therapies, and the ability to receive such comprehensive and individualized care. The team of therapists, they know my daughter...really know her! …The therapists talk to one another and know how she is doing, if she's feeling well or under the weather, or if she's had something going on. Our family has been so blessed because not only have we had the honor of working with some amazing people, we have been the recipients of scholarships for therapy that have not been covered by insurance.  Without these scholarships our daughter would have lost valuable time and progress…..The work that is happening at Treehouse makes a difference for our family and so many other Central Oregon Families.”

"Treehouse Therapies has come a long way from the initial concept with a lot of hard work, thankless hours, and support from people and organizations that believe that investing in children from a holistic perspective is important. It's not about treating a symptom or one specific ailment, the people at Treehouse know that it is about treating the whole person, using multiple modalities that will ultimately heal the person, and also make the family stronger. It's about giving people what they need to be successful physically and emotionally. We fully support all of the work that is happening at Treehouse because it makes a difference for our family and so many other Central Oregon families- I hope that you will help support the incredible work that is happening with this organization and be a part of the positive change in our community.”
