Thriving From Infancy to Adulthood
Infants
Are you up all night with a colicky baby? Is your baby having difficulty latching on one side or just generally struggling to feed? Do they have a tongue or lip tie? Do they always keep their head turned to one side? Is their head getting flat on one side? We have extensive experience in treating all of these things. We can help make your baby more comfortable and you less stressed.
Perinatal
The best kept secret in the perinatal world is that a postpartum tune-up can help restore your stability, get you back to doing the things you love quicker, and prevent problems later in life. We can also help with issues such as low back pain during pregnancy.
Children
Did you know that things like growing pains can be treated? Children are not small adults and they cannot be treated as such. We have the paediatric expertise to recognize conditions unique to childhood. If not treated properly these issues can lead to problems down the road. We can also help children with delayed milestones and neurological concerns such as cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder.
Adults
Is your body robbing you of joy? Perhaps you have given up your favourite activity due to an injury that won’t go away. Maybe you can’t pick up your kids and swing them around because your back hurts. In a lot of cases people have only had their symptoms treated and not the underlying cause. We look at the inter-connectedness of the whole body in everything we do. We treat people, not body parts.
The M.A.P. Approach
Our approach developed from a sense of inter-connectedness of all systems of the body. No part of you works in isolation and if any one part is out of balance it affects the whole.
Movement
We step back and look at how your body moves as a whole, regardless of where the current pain or dysfunction is. This allows us to see the big picture of how everything is working (or not working) together.
Alignment
There is an optimal order to things in your body. When one part is out of alignment it affects every single other part of you on some level. We work through hands-on treatment to restore balance in your whole being.
Performance
When all systems are working together true health can be restored. You can achieve your goals no matter what they are.
Our Services
Children
We can help with common conditions such as growing pains, Osgood-Schlatter disease, sports injuries, as well as developmental and neurological conditions.
Infants
We can treat common conditions such as colic, torticollis, and plagiocephaly as well as developmental or neurological issues.
Orthopædic Conditions
Painful conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and back pain are really just a symptom of something gone wrong elsewhere in the body. We will help you find the true cause.

Whether it be prenatal aches and pains, feeling all loosey-goosey postnatally, recovery from C-section, or continence issues years after having children, we can help you get back to feeling like yourself again.
Neurological Conditions
Whether you have had a recent neurological injury or a stroke many years ago, we can help you make the most of your functional mobility and avoid pain.
