As a parent of a child with an autism spectrum disorder, Dr.Holub has a keen sensitivity to the issues of the special needs child. She brings this awareness to her practice to create a child centered approach that is a pleasant experience for the child. In addition to taking post graduate seminars on sensory integration and autism spectrum disorders, she has worked in a private school for special needs children.
Dr.Holub is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic in South Carolina. Prior to that she completed her undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University. In 1984 Dr. Holub established her chiropractic practice in Ridgewood, New Jersey and she relocated to her Wyckoff office in 1994.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle steady touch approach that releases tensions deep in the body, relieves pain and dysfunction, and improves whole body health. CranioSacral Therapy balances the CranioSacral system-the environment around the brain and spinal cord. This system directly affects the central nervous system function and indirectly addresses a wide range of sensory, motor, and neurological concerns.
CranioSacral Therapy can be especially powerful for children with developmental issues including autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing disorders, learning disabilities,A.D.D./A.D.H.D.,and other challenges. A child may become calmer or have an increased function in some skill. Effects are more noticeable after several treatments.
CranioSacral Therapy isn’t just for children. Many teens and adults benefit from CranioSacral Therapy. It has been proven effective in aiding neck and back pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, and more.
Typical sessions are approximately 1 hour.
Gentle Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic specifically addresses the structure and function of nerves, muscles, and joints that control posture and movement. In this respect, Chiropractic may be looked at from a sensory integrative approach. Dr. Holub uses an activator, a F.D.A.-registered hand held instrument, to adjust the spine. It is a gentle alternative to hand manipulation.
Myofascial Release
The use by hand of steady calming pressure to relax tight muscles and fascia. Dr. Holub uses myofascial release in conjunction with CranioSacral Therapy and chiropractic adjustments.
Sensory Integrative Exercises
Dr. Holub often includes sensory integrative exercises with CranioSacral Therapy to allow the child to further relax and to become comfortable with the environment. These exercise focus on vestibular, proprioceptive, visual-motor, or tactile inputs.
