NST Pediatrics
Gentle care for infants, children, and teens - helping them grow, learn, and thrive.
At Sarasota Pain Treatment Center, we believe the best foundation for life-long wellness starts early. That’s why we offer Pediatric Neurosomatic Therapy (PNST) — a gentle, science-informed approach that supports healthy growth, learning, and development.
Our clinicians are Certified Neurosomatic Therapists (CNST) & Certified Pediatric Massage Therapists (CPMT) through the Liddle Kidz Foundation — a nationally recognized standard of pediatric bodywork excellence.
Why Pediatric NST?
Children’s bodies grow rapidly, and even small imbalances can affect focus, coordination, sleep, and emotions. Pediatric NST works by restoring communication between the nervous system and muscles — addressing the cause, not just the symptoms.
