Pediatric Manual Therapy
I have specialized training in the visceral and neural manipulation lineage for working with small humans that are suffering from many chronic conditions and birth traumas. I am comfortable working with infants and children, and always meet a child where he or she is at with their healing process and abilities on the day they come to see me. Some sessions are more productive than others. I always enjoy treating the parents as well, and sometimes this is essential to helping the child in their healing process.
I recommend 45 minute sessions for first appointments with children (please book 60 min, you will only be charged for 45 min). Follow up sessions are usually 30 minutes long. You know your child better than anyone, so please try to schedule a time that fits well into their daily routine for the first session. We can discuss what is appropriate for daily schedule timing for the follow up sessions, depending on treatment goals.
I have also studied pediatric manual therapy with renowned physical therapist, Jean Anne Zollers, PT. I integrate my studies in visceral manipulation, neural manipulation, and gentle acupressure meridian therapy to effectively, efficiently, and gently alleviate common disturbances that babies and children experience, including:
-
Problems with sleeping
-
Cranial bone malformation
-
Torticollis
-
Colic
-
Reflux
-
Constipation
-
Digestive Disturbance
-
Plagiocephaly
-
Allergies
-
Thoracic Injury
-
Neurological Problems, including Cerebral Palsy and Autism
-
Issues with the Vagus Nerve, and
-
Abnormalities in Social Engagement.
