Hannah Haugen
PT, DPT
Hannah is a pediatric physical therapist, born and raised in Montana, who built her experience in Denver treating children with a wide range of diagnoses across clinic, home, and community settings.
Born and raised in Montana, Hannah gained her pediatric experience in Denver, Colorado, working with children across a variety of diagnoses and settings before coming home. She works with the youngest patients at Root Pediatrics, including early intervention for children from birth to three.
Hannah treats the whole child rather than a diagnosis, and she meets families where they are — the goal is to leave them able to keep going on their own, working toward whatever mobility that particular child is capable of. Pediatrics takes creativity, which is the part she loves: finding what motivates a specific kid and getting there through play.
Much of her work centers on how a child moves: building the breathing and postural control that gross motor skills are built on, training gait, and managing foot position with orthotics, serial casting, or night splints where that is the right tool.
Clinical focus areas
- Early intervention (ages 0–3)
- Torticollis and plagiocephaly
