Maggie Budzinski, DPT

Physical Therapist

Maggie Budzinski, PT, DPT, earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Georgia State University, where she also taught in the anatomy and physiology labs. She holds a certificate in Early Intervention Physical Therapy, reflecting additional specialized training in supporting the motor development of infants and young children. This training emphasizes identifying and addressing developmental needs early, incorporating therapy into a child’s natural routines and environments, and partnering with families to help children build foundational movement skills that support future development.

Maggie has experience treating children with a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, including Down syndrome, hypotonia, gross motor delays, genetic disorders, torticollis, and cerebral palsy. She believes that parents and caregivers are an essential part of the therapy team and prioritizes family education and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process. Maggie enjoys helping families better understand their child’s development and providing practical strategies they can incorporate into everyday activities at home.

One of Maggie’s favorite parts of being a pediatric physical therapist is watching children gain confidence in their movement, develop new skills, and achieve milestones that increase their independence and participation in everyday life.

Outside of the clinic, Maggie enjoys cuddling with her cats, Toby and Zen, spending time with family and friends, volunteering with Scouting America, and cheering on the Minnesota Vikings.
