What we do

When your child is in pain, it's easy to feel helpless. Pain can affect every aspect of life for both the child and the family. Our team will help your child restore function, learn coping strategies and engage in valued activities. You know your child best and we will work with you to develop a plan that provides the best outcome.  

The Integrated Healing Program is an intensive, outpatient rehabilitative program, designed to treat patients holistically. Their physical, emotional and social needs are addressed in intensive, eight-hour daily sessions for four to six weeks. The program offers our patients a chance to practice daily skills, move and exercise with 2 daily sessions of physical therapy and other team building movement activities.

Teens will participate in group sessions which teach them the skills to manage stress and address mood and anxiety in relation to their pain. As a whole, the program helps kids take back their lives and become kids again. 

Parent/caregiver participation is extremely important in this journey. Parents/caregivers participate in groups twice a week to learn parenting strategies, alternative ways to support their child and to learn from other parents/caregivers. Decisions that are made by the care team, about pain and pain management choices, are shared and we work with parents/caregivers to develop a functional plan for each patient, prior to discharge.
