At The WOMB Vaughan, we have an entire integrative health team that can work collaboratively to provide the best possible combination of care to you and your family. Here are a few services that work well in conjunction with Pediatric Physiotherapy. Please contact us anytime to help you put together the best team for your needs!

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy helps people engage and participate in the activities and roles that are meaningful to them. In adults these range from self-care activities (sleep, toileting, intimacy) to productive activities (working, childcare, caregiving) to leisure activities (social interaction, hobbies). In children, occupations may include eating, sleeping, playing, building independence, and participating in school or activities.

Speech & Language Therapy

Our WOMB SLP’s work with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. They also work with individuals with Autism or other developmental disabilities. A Speech-Language Pathologist will conduct a detailed assessment and provide recommendations and/ or a therapy plan that best suits the individual's needs. Our WOMB SLP’s and CDA’s use a play based and family centred approach to engage the kids and achieve maximum results!

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care can transform the health of the whole family, ranging from newborn babies, to children to older adults. It is a manual therapy used to put the body into optimal alignment and restore nervous system function, while also reducing pain, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and reducing stress.
