Founder & Owner of Susan Hastings Pediatric Physical TherapyDr. Susan Hastings is a Board-Certified Pediatric Certified Specialist, who graduated from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions with a DPT specializing in Pediatrics in 2010. She has used Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for over 20 years in children with cerebral palsy (CP), and teaches courses which emphasize motor-learning in this population. 

In 2017, she found a new application of FES using transcutaneous Spinal Cord Neuromodulation for children with neurological impairments, including CP. This led to a collaboration with Drs. V R Edgerton and P Gad from the Edgerton Research Lab at UCLA, experts in the use of Spinal Cord Neuromodulation.  Together, they are actively researching applications of this method for children with neurological involvement, which has resulted in several published studies in using Spinal Cord Neuromodulation in CP.

Susan continues to teach her methods to physical and occupational therapists in continuing education courses, both nationally and internationally, and has presented at APTA Combined Sections Meeting, American Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapists, and state conferences.
