Physiotherapy
Dynamic Health Therapy provides specialized services tailored for the unique health needs of infants and children. These services focus on diagnosing, treating, and managing various health issues that can affect young patients from infancy through childhood.

Children are commonly thought to be immune to structural stresses and strains, and resilient to injury. In reality, strains and tensions early in life often become incorporated into the growing body. Fortunately, children have a profound life force which can allow rapid results with osteopathic treatment.
