The pediatric population is one of our favorite to assess and treat in the office. By assessing our little ones, especially within the first two years, can help ensure that they are hitting their developmental movement milestones. Just like when we bring our children to the pediatricians, they will assess for height, weight and head circumference to make sure they are hitting their growth milestones. In our office, we want to assess for movement milestones. If we catch dysfunctional movement or motor delays early, it could reduce the risk of injuries down the road.

With the growing awareness of the benefits of dry needling, we have decided to offer this as a new service. Tom will now be doing dry needling at RFHW. We will be branding the treatment as Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy. This service will combine dry needing, manual muscle manipulation and instrument assisted manual therapy. This combination of dynamic therapies releases muscle tension, improves pain and increases range of motion!
