How we can help your baby…
Tongue and Lip Tie Therapy
Highly specialized support for your infant with a tongue or lip tie. Significant improvements in feeding can be made with oral motor therapy and whole body manual therapy before jumping into a release. Reach out for support BEFORE a release for best results.
Torticollis Treatment
If your baby seems to favor turning their head one way, it’s a great time to check in. Early support helps them explore how their whole body moves, encouraging balanced posture and smooth progress toward important motor milestones.
Head Shape Correction
Spotted a flat spot? The earlier we start with play-based techniques and smart positioning, the better the chances of avoiding a helmet later.
Milestone Support
Noticing challenges with tummy time, rolling, crawling, or those first steps? Let us help your little one move with confidence. Every milestone is a celebration, and we’re honored to be part of the journey.
Lactation-Informed Physical Therapy
Compassionate feeding support rooted in a whole-body approach—whether your baby is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, we’re here to help them feed with ease and comfort.
“After our first appointment, we quickly realized the feeding issues were tied to my baby’s tension in her neck, and her head turn preference went away by the time Dr. Nalan visited a week later. She taught us everything we needed to do with our baby, and we saw results so fast, we could not believe our eyes! We had tried CST and Chiro before, and after many sessions with them we saw no improvements in our baby. Dr. Nalan is amazing at what she does, and she truly loves your baby! ”
