Children are dynamic beings, and they are amazing examples of the law of yin and yang, its interrelationships and how balance is the basis of total well being. During the first few years of life, children’s emotions are pure and uninhibited; hence their “qi” flows freely and is readily accessible. Children respond remarkably well to treatments, therefore, children’s visits are usually quick, effective and many times non-invasive! A child’s constitution can change very quickly so you can see results even faster than you can in adults. Pediatric treatments are gentle and primarily consist of tui na which is Chinese body work, which is translated into a gentle body massage or rub. We are more than happy to educate and involve the parents so they can continue certain treatments at home.
Childhood ailments that are common in our clinic are:
- allergies
- asthma
- cold and flu
- gastrointestinal issues (constipation, diarrhea, lack of appetite, etc)
- sleep

- ADD or ADHD.
