Laura P. Adams MSPT, CST
Hi, I am Laura Adams, Pediatric Craniosacral Therapist.
I am a skilled pediatric physical therapist who practices craniosacral therapy and specializes in working with infants. I focus on addressing common issues with infants such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, tethered oral tissue, tongue tie, latch problems, digestive and nervous system regulation issues. I am passionate about working with infants and their families during the critical first year of life. I have over 20 years of experience working as a pediatric physical therapist across a wide variety of settings. I became interested in craniosacral therapy when I observed the benefits some of my patients were receiving from this treatment, including increased range of motion and tissue mobility as well as significant improvements in body alignment and segmental mobility. As an Upledger trained craniosacral therapist, I have fallen in love with the holistic focus of treatment and the effectiveness of the extremely gentle touch used with these treatment techniques. I have also completed TOTs training to enhance my skills in working with infants with tongue tie and tethered oral tissues. I am grateful to be able to offer craniosacral therapy treatment to facilitate improved function and quality of life for my patients.
