Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT)

An advanced, hands-on therapeutic approach that is used in working with people who have central nervous system issues (e.g. injury, ischemia, infection, degenerative disease) that create difficulties in controlling movement to help them become as independent as possible. The emphasis is in inhibiting certain patterns and promoting the development of normal postural reactions and achieving normal tone.
