In our clinic, we focus on developmental skills; working with newborns, and continuing throughout the developmental years.
The ages 0-5 is a large part of the population we treat, yet if your child may be older and working on developmental skills or have underlying developmental challenges we could still be a solid fit to help your child. We don’t only look at age, we look at a child holistically to determine if Iron City OT is your best choice.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential; therefore, if we are not the best option we know many other great practitioners to refer you to. We value educating families on the importance of working with practitioners who have the skills and resources to meet your child’s needs.

We can start seeing your child from the day you get home from the hospital. The newborn days are vital in a child’s development.
Our approach to infant therapy is gentle, prioritizing education and comprehensive support for the family, resulting in proven positive outcomes.
We work with newborns to release restrictions in the body, and address other factors which may be limiting feeding, sleeping, breathing, and movement.
Treatment for torticollis and plagiocephaly (flat head) is one of our specialties. Both are best treated early for positive outcomes and to not limit developmental skills.

Our DMI weight limit is 40 lbs, if your child may be over this please inform us as we will need to assess if the child is appropriate for this type of therapy.
DMI is physically demanding on the therapist and child; therefore, for safety, a weight limit and the child’s abilities must be considered.
Our team has very experienced therapists with treatment skills beyond DMI and many DMI exercises can be adapted when working with a larger or older child. Please do not hesitate to reach out to discuss options if your child is over 40 pounds. Iron City OT has a lot more to offer than only DMI.
