Our Story
Backcountry Therapeutics, LLC was started in Feb 2012 with offering Occupational Therapy to kids in their homes and in a small rented clinic/pool. We have since grown to have 20 therapists between Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy and our own 9,600sq foot facility solely for pediatrics. We started with the goal to be able to offer the kids of the Mat-Su valley, with varying diagnosis, a variety of treatment environments so that every child has the best possible chance at achieving their goals and independence.
Community Based
We offer Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy in the community to make your child’s sessions more realistic and functional to the real life experiences. Community sessions include, but are not limited to, parks, shopping stores, restaurants, libraries, etc. We understand that therapy doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic.
Home Health
We offer Occupational, Physical therapy and Speech therapy to clients and their families in their home if recommended and when travel appointments are available on our schedule.
Aquatic
We offer Pediatric Physical, Occupational and Speech aquatic therapy in a 24 ft round saline pool. The pool is heated to 93 degrees year round. At 4.5 feet deep it offers a safe and fun environment for kids to grow and develop skills.
Teletherapy
We offer Speech, Occupational and Physical therapy via multiple virtual platforms for families with immunity or transportation concerns, or for those who do not live close enough to a clinic to receive in-person therapy. We understand many families live outside of towns with services and want to make sure all children have access to wonderful therapists.
Equine
We offer Equine facilitated Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy year around. Your child can work on functional life skills while interacting with horses. This program addresses motor development, strength, coordination, confidence, sensory exploration, emotional and self regulation coping skills, overall processing and other important skills.
