PEDIATRIC MASSAGE

As Certified Pediatric Massage Therapists we work with children and families from age one all the way through adulthood. The children we were work come from all different backgrounds; this ranges from children with autism, anxiety, ADHD, downs syndrome to those struggling with growing pains or young athletes looking to improve sports performance and prevent injury.
