About Us

Bringing Hope & Healing to Families

Our Story

STEPS was born out of the love and dedication of a mother with a child just like yours. In her search for newer techniques and therapies for her son Abdullah, Fawzia discovered innovative methods that when combined with intensive therapy, changed her son’s life. These life-changing methods however were only available overseas and Fawzia, realizing that not all people have access to international rehabilitation, knew then that she had to bring these techniques to Bahrain.

In 2007, she opened STEPS. The Center initially focused on Intensive Rehabilitation but has since evolved to offer a full suite of therapeutic offerings. These include Early Intervention, Pediatric Physical Therapy, Pediatric Occupational Therapy, Intensive Physical and Occupational Therapy, Clinical Psychology, Academic Assessments, Speech & Language Therapy, Reading Intervention, and creative therapies such as Art and Music Therapy. Today, STEPS provide a complete wellness solution that is dedicated to the holistic healing of you and your family.

This is our journey, and we look forward to being a part of your beautiful journey.

Testimonials

We have been supported by Steps Rehabilitation for almost three years now. The clinic is important to us, as we spend at least 2 hours a week there. The staff are professional and up to date with research and techniques- evidence base is important to me as a healthcare professional. They have a vested interest in all the children who they support, and I can't speak more highly of their physiotherapy department
Dr Julie Sprakel
After a noticeable growth delay that prevented my daughter from standing and walking, at the Steps Center, she attended physical therapy sessions, along with occupational therapy, which has allowed my daughter to take her first steps toward walking in her third year.
Ms. Sala
The center of all its medical staff is distinguished with a smile, cooperation and high professionalism. My daughter and me loved you all
