Evaluation- In person/Virtual
These are face-to-face 60–90-minute sessions where we discuss your concerns and learn more about your little one’s needs and struggles. We do a comprehensive developmental assessment of your child. We then empower you right away with a customized home exercise program to meet your individual child’s needs and yours as a family. We set realistic goals that will help your child achieve their maximum functional potential. We try to educate you on your child’s diagnosis and how we can help with our treatment techniques. You will be provided with a detailed written report following the evaluation session.
Treatment Sessions- In person/ Virtual
Our treatment sessions range between 45-60 minutes, depending on the age of the child. During our treatment sessions, we will come up with fun, natural play-based activities that will nurture your child towards their gross motor development.

Treatment session notes, progress reports, and discharge summaries are available upon written request.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)
CFT is a genlte touch modality founded by Dr. Barry Gillespie which combines principles of Cranisosacral therapy and Myofascial Release Therapy to address the strain in the fascial system. Fascia is the biological fabric of connective tissue that envelopes each and every cell of the body, every muscle, organ, bones and nerve tissue. Any strain that causes restictions in the fascial web can affect the optimal functioning of the body and nervous system. CFT aims at unwinding and releasing strains in the craniosacral fascial system.

Embrace the Connection: Nurturing Mom and Baby Wellness with Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)"
​
From the moment of conception to the exhilarating first cries of birth and beyond, the connection between a mother and her baby is profound and transformative. It's more than just a physical bond – it's a deep, instinctual, and unbreakable tie that shapes both the mother and the baby's well-being.
​
During pregnancy, this connection begins to form as the baby grows and develops within the womb, intertwined with the mother's emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Through the miracle of childbirth, this bond is strengthened as the mother and baby share their first moments of skin-to-skin contact, igniting a cascade of love and oxytocin that sets the stage for a lifetime of nurturing and care.
​
Beyond birth, this connection continues to flourish through the intimate moments of breastfeeding, the gentle caresses of cuddles, and the shared laughter and tears of parenthood. Research shows that this bond is vital for both the mother and baby's emotional, physical, and psychological well-being, providing a sense of security, attachment, and love that lays the foundation for healthy development and resilience.
​
At Babies and Beyond Physical Therapy, we understand the importance of nurturing this bond and supporting the dyad's well-being from the very beginning. Through our holistic approach and the offering of Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) for moms, we empower mothers and babies to thrive, honoring the sacred connection that enriches both their lives in countless ways.
