As the twig is bent, the tree will grow. Changes in our posture begin in childhood resulting from repetitive motions, accidents during activities such as tobogganing or biking, car accidents, surgeries, emotional trauma, or lengthy periods studying, on electronic devices, and video gaming.  A child may or may not complain of pain but as the “twig grows” in the new direction resulting from the above events, years later the pain will present itself once joints are repositioned and pulled. 

 

The fascia in children is young, springy, and easily corrected with a gentle touch. The first session will entail of the therapist gaining an understanding of the child’s history, movement patterns, and posture. Treatment is done at a comfortable pace for the child allowing for movement and to be at ease with being touched.  

 

The entire treatment is done in clothes that the child can comfortable move in. 

 

After the first session, follow up sessions are done 2-3 weeks apart for 4-5 sessions.
