At Heal Thyself Institute, we know that children’s brains and bodies develop rapidly and the right care at the right time can make all the difference. Our pediatric therapy appointments are designed to build on your child’s existing plan and support steady, measurable progress between evaluations.
Dr. Waldo’s pediatric approach supports healthy growth, neurological development, and resilience for children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing challenges, developmental delays, retained primitive reflexes, or recovery needs after concussion or injury. Each session is tailored to your child’s unique needs, using gentle chiropractic techniques, reflex integration, functional eye and balance exercises, and innovative brain-based therapies, all in a supportive environment designed to help them focus, learn, and thrive.
Our pediatric therapy sessions combine hands on chiropractic care, reflex integration, and neurological exercises that strengthen the brain body connection. Each visit is intentionally shorter to match a child’s attention and energy levels, allowing us to target specific goals while keeping the experience playful, safe, and engaging.
These appointments are not just about repetition, they’re about creating new pathways. Through gentle movement, balance, visual, and sensory activities, Dr. Waldo helps the brain learn to organize and respond more efficiently. Over time, these sessions promote smoother motor coordination, emotional regulation, and cognitive growth.
Parents are an essential part of the process. You’ll receive guidance, home activities, and insight into your child’s progress so the work continues between visits. This ongoing partnership ensures that each milestone builds on the last, helping your child feel more confident, connected, and capable in daily life.
Yes. Dr. Waldo uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques that are safe for infants through teens.
Primitive reflexes are automatic movements present at birth that should integrate as a child grows. If retained, they can impact learning, behavior, and motor skills.
The frequency of visits depends on your child’s unique needs, goals, and how their brain and body respond to care. We offer a variety of appointment lengths so we can focus on exactly what’s needed, whether it’s a shorter session for targeted therapies or a longer visit for more in-depth work. Dr. Waldo will recommend a schedule that supports progress while fitting your family’s lifestyle.
We work with kids of all ages who are navigating developmental delays, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing challenges, retained primitive reflexes, coordination issues, post-concussion or injury recovery, and even autoimmune conditions like PANS/PANDAS. Every care plan is individualized to meet your child’s unique needs and goals.
Parents often share that regular therapy sessions have helped their children feel calmer, more coordinated, and more confident in school and at home. Each success story reminds us that steady, intentional work creates meaningful change.
