  Time off, we're back to the basics and healthcare with Balanced Life Chiropractic.
• 0:03
  We have doctor Harley with us, Hey doing Doctor Harley, Hey John,
• 0:05
  I'm doing great. IM loving this warm weather that we're getting so that always,
• 0:10
  you know, puts everyone in good mood. And I looked at the
• 0:12
  ten day forecasts, I'm like, Okay, we have some good stuff coming
• 0:16
  and it looks like it's going to be pretty decent for a while. Yeah,
• 0:18
  I'm excited about that. How much I trust those weather people. But
• 0:22
  we'll try. So today we're going to talk about something. You tell me
• 0:24
  if I say this right. I tried to memorize uh, pediatric occupational therapy.
• 0:31
  Yeah, did they get it all right? Yeah. It's just a
• 0:33
  lot of big words that I don't usually use, some big, fancy science
• 0:35
  words in there. But it's just something that I feel like maybe a lot
• 0:38
  of people don't know much about. And I learned a lot more about it
• 0:41
  from the occupational therapist I sat down with last week for coffee from Functional Kids
• 0:47
  Occupational Therapy Location, and it's something that I think a lot of parents need
• 0:51
  to look a little more into. And what we really kind of talked about
• 0:55
  was sensory disorders with kids, like that's a big thing that they work with,
• 0:59
  and it's just something that is becoming more regularly like diagnosed or recognized.
• 1:03
  And maybe some parents don't necessarily know what other steps there are out there,
• 1:07
  and you probably wonder, well, how does this have to work with chiropractic.
• 1:11
  It works well together. As I was explained to this therapist that you
• 1:15
  know, they're working on the symptoms, helping parents to manage you know,
• 1:19
  at home behaviors, different steps to help them, you know, get through
• 1:23
  these obstacles. And she's like always been interested about how chiropractic can help with
• 1:29
  you know, just along the journey. And I look at it as you
• 1:32
  know, especially if we're looking at the sensory overload kids, you know,
• 1:34
  they're basically, you know, on a hamster wheel just go go, go,
• 1:38
  go, go, go go, you know, miles an hour kind
• 1:41
  of thing. Chiropractic is going to help slow down that speed, helping their
• 1:45
  nervous system to slow down, helping them to process you know, their world
• 1:49
  versus just immediately having a big tantrum or a blow up. Going to help
• 1:55
  them to you know, control those emotions a little bit easier and so combined
• 2:00
  with the therapy is going to help you know, both kids and parents to
• 2:02
  use those tools to work through, you know, those big emotions and big
• 2:07
  feelings that kids are struggling with. And the thing that's nice, those two
• 2:10
  things do work really well together. And if we talked about in the past,
• 2:15
  you know, with chiropractic, it's really kind of helping communication from the
• 2:19
  brain to other parts of the body and when there's something that's pinched or something
• 2:22
  that's not quite connecting, that causes a problem. So I love the fact
• 2:27
  that this they work very well together. Yeah, and you know, we
• 2:30
  kind of talked about, Okay, when should parents start looking at adding other
• 2:32
  things? And you know, if you're going to chiropractor, when you should
• 2:37
  be maybe incorporating functional therapy versus if you're going to punctual therapy, when would
• 2:40
  it be good to start seeing a chiropractor. I kind of looked at it's
• 2:43
  like if you feel like you're stuck and like just kind of they got to
• 2:47
  a plateau and still have more work to do, but they're kind of at
• 2:50
  a point where nothing seems to be getting better, but it's not getting worse.
• 2:53
  I think that's where it's a really good time to start adding some new
• 2:57
  things, maybe one at a time. See, Okay, we're going to
• 3:00
  start doing chiropractic. Okay, they're they're getting better. They're they're making bigger
• 3:04
  milestones in their functional therapy, which is awesome, or it's the opposite of
• 3:07
  the functional therapy. They've kind of reached a plateau and then the chiropractice is
• 3:10
  going to help them to process through some of those things that they're working on.
• 3:15
  Nice. If somebody listening is going, hey, I can relate to
• 3:19
  this, this is something that I could probably utilize some help with. Or
• 3:22
  maybe they have some other issues that are health related that chiropractic might be a
• 3:27
  good fit for. What is the best way for them to connect with you?
• 3:29
  Yeah, and I know it talked a lot about like sensory disorders,
• 3:31
  but chiropractic helps kids with loads of other, you know, kind of common
• 3:36
  childhood things. You know, one thing with the therapist I was talking about
• 3:38
  was even developmental delays, you know, walking, crawling, verbal, eye
• 3:44
  contact, all these different things that you know, kids are these these hurdles
• 3:49
  that these kids are having, there's so many different resources out there to help
