How Integrative Manual Therapy Addresses Autism
Working with the underlying cause, is the way massage therapists, physical therapists and psychologists trained in Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) address autistic children or people with autistic-like behavior. At CenterIMT we have extensive experience treating autistic children ranging in age from small children to teenagers. Ayelet Weiselfish, PT director of CenterIMT’s Pediatric Program sees remarkable results. More importantly, we have seen children who had a label of autism, recover and thrive in their lives. The child often rejoins other children in the regular school system and interacts with their friends and family...........Buy This Issue Today
