About Tiny Strides Pediatric Physical Therapy
Dr. Meridith Jochum Rodriguez, PT, DPT
Pediatric Doctor of Physical Therapy
Hi! I'm Meridith, the founder of Tiny Strides Pediatric Physical Therapy. Growing up in Mayfield Village, I pursued my passion for health at Elon University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, before heading to Chatham University in Pittsburgh for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. After school, I returned home, where I met my husband John. As a pediatric physical therapist for seven years, my son inspired me to launch Tiny Strides, where I offer convenient care right in your home. When I’m not cheering on your little ones as they roll, crawl, walk, or jump, you can find me enjoying a long family walk with our golden retriever and great cup of coffee, going for a run, or golfing. I can’t wait to support you and your family on this exciting journey!
I am dedicated to empowering parents with knowledge and support their children's growth. Together, we will take the guesswork out of gross motor development, allowing you to feel confident as you watch your child explore their world with curiosity and joy.
