Conditions We See in Children

Your practitioner assesses your child and explains the options.

child walking on toes

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.

child working on motor skills

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.

child working on posture and coordination

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.
