Stork was created to make families lives easier while leaving them empowered in their own environment. After working in a clinic for several years we consistently found that families struggled with taking the skills learned in a session and implementing them at home as the tools and environment were not the same. We wanted to create something for families that took the stress out of packing up the siblings, taking the kids to daycare, or having to travel 45 minutes for an appointment that felt rushed without getting the adequate time a family deserves. With a special interest in pediatrics, another goal was we wanted to be able to get creative and have fun with the environment you already have without the need for buying a bunch of expensive accessories. Stork wants to change how physiotherapy is done while making it informative, creative, entertaining, and making sure no question is left unanswered by the end of the session.

We see a wide variety of conditions including: Torticollis, head shape, toe walking, developmental milestones, neurological conditions, strains, sprains, fractures, and general conditioning for all ages!
