APT is a private pediatric occupational therapy practice which focuses on providing individualized, multi-faceted and holistic treatments for the children they see to enhance their physical, cognitive and social skills. The services they offer address such things as sensory integration, fine motor skills, postural stability, bilateral coordination and therapeutic listening just to name a few.

I highly recommend their services and encourage you to contact their office if you have concerns regarding your child’s needs. They also have an office in SW Portland.

You may get more information from their website here.

BodyTalk involves gentle tapping on the head and chest, somewhat like acupressure but different. A simple kinesiology based muscle testing technique is used to navigate through and among different categories and possibilities. The information that can be attained by BodyTalk is truly unique and all-encompassing.

Parents universally are intrigued by this interesting method and several of my patient’s parents have gone to take the training program called Access which is given here in our local community every few months.

The technique has now spread across the world so that wherever you are located, it is likely you can get trained to use this wonderful method.

For more information on BodyTalk and how I use it in my practice, go to this page on my office site called Alternative-Medicine-Works.
