Any recommendations for a licensed massage therapist for a child in the NY area? Already has PT, but want to focus more on massage as well.

Is your child getting OT? If not, start there. They include massage as part of the sensory aspect and they'll teach you...

She has PT, not OT, and while the PT showed me some ways to massage, I find that when researching online there is so much more that can be helpful. I would love a professional massage therapist to give me a bit more comprehensive demonstration.

I would ask a professional massuese. I know one (out of town though) and she is a mom. Ask them if they know of anyone. Is there reason it has to be someone specifically for children? (as long as they are well trained and understand the other PT issues, etc?)

I have taken my dd to a chiropractor, she wasn't a special pediatric one. she has seen someone for a jin shin shitsu treatment.
