Child Therapies
How our therapist can help
Our therapist provides Occupational Therapy, Myofunctional Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy Techniques and Feldenkrais Method® Bodywork and more all-in-one during your child’s appointment saving you time and money from going to multiple providers. These therapies are gentle, hands-on forms of bodywork and myofunctional therapy. Through a variety of neuromotor and manual therapy techniques, she will address movement, sensory, and overall function at the core of the nervous system using a holistic, whole-body approach to swallowing, feeding, and oral motor coordination. Each individual person will be assessed to find the best combination of therapies for them.
