Conditions We See in Children
Your practitioner assesses your child and explains the options.
Toe Walkers
Some children prefer to walk on their toes instead of using the typical heel to toe pattern. This can affect their balance and muscle development as they grow. Some children may also benefit from custom orthotics.
Gross Motor Delay
Gross motor delays can affect a child's ability to perform movements like running, jumping and climbing, which can affect overall coordination and mobility as children grow.
Torticollis
Torticollis is a condition with tight or shortened neck muscles, which can lead to a noticeable head tilt. It often limits range of motion and can be uncomfortable.
Hypotonia
Hypotonia refers to low muscle tone, which can result in weakness and challenges with motor skills. Many families seek support for children with difficulties with posture or coordination.
Concerns We Assess in Children
We assess children, typically five years and older, and may help manage concerns like these as part of a plan built around your child. Every child is different, and your practitioner will explain the options after an assessment.
Sports and Activity Injuries
- Sprains, strains and other injuries from sports and play
Development and Movement
- Toe walking
- Gross motor delay
- Low muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Torticollis (a head tilt from tight neck muscles)
