Asymmetrical Crawling is a tricky one ⬇️

As much as all PTs would love for crawling to be “normal” and symmetrical, we care more about addressing the underlying deficits.

Three things I always rule out: hip instability, visual deficits, spinal asymmetries. 👆🏻 I think we can all agree it’s worth catching these things early on rather than waiting.

Chances are it’s usually rooted in muscular asymmetries such as a tight hip flexor.

Torticollis: this is often times the culprit. If your baby has a head tilt or head turn preference, research and therapists support getting it treated early. This is not a “wait and see” thing. Find ya a good PT and treat the tight/weak muscles. 💯

Fun fact: we actually call crawling “creeping” in the PT world. Crawling actually refers to army crawling if we’re being fancy. 💁🏼‍♀️

Come have coffee with us!

I get excited about all my groups but might be slightly bias and even more excited about this one. 🙋🏼‍♀️ ☕️
Yellow Mug has graciously extended their space for us mommas to come in and chat for an hour.
🗓 This starts Wednesday February 7th and will continue the first Wednesday of each month.
🤱🏽Our goal is for this to be a good resource for moms to meet other moms and of course grab a cup of coffee while we’re at it.
👶🏻 Babies are welcome or it can be an hour where you drop in baby free.
⏰ come the whole time or drop in.

Merry Christmas friends. I hope your day is filled with loved ones and taking the time to pause & reset. 🎄

👄 Tongue Ties + Lip Ties are prevalent findings in babies with general fascial restrictions and torticollis.
👅 There are 4 buccal frenula (2 upper, 2 lower). The 2 discussed here is the soft tissue connecting the gum and upper lip and the tissue connecting the tongue and floor of mouth.
⬆️ Seen in post are generalized statements and every baby is SO different as is their journey with breastfeeding.
💡 Knowing what I know now I would absolutely seek out a lactation consultant and a pediatric dentist to appropriately screen and decide the best plan for your baby.
🥛 A lot of babies have ties that do not in fact affect their feeding journey.
👱🏻‍♀️ Some PTs including myself have been trained in screening for ties and can help address fascial restrictions, teach tricks on managing acid reflux during feeding, and conquer tummy time to promote gross motor development and orofacial development.

Try these quick tips to encourage walking 👣

👟 baby shoes can become an additional tool when your baby has been cruising for a while and isn’t making progress towards walking. In general barefoot IS best, but some babies need that extra stability.

🥇Standing balance is the ultimate building block for taking those first steps.

🥈Several options to supported walking…once your baby masters walking with two hands held, lower your hands or take one hand away to challenge their balance! If they are super dependent on your hands challenge them to hold on to a hula hoop or broom stick while you hold the other side! (Video in comments)

DM me with any specific questions or to be sent a copy of my short and sweet walking tips.

For those of you who are new here I am a PT with outpatient and inpatient pediatric experience at a level 1 trauma hospital. These are five things I’ve learned that stand out to me 🖐.

🔑 Diagnosing and treating torticollis early is KEY to addressing muscular asymmetries. 💪🏽

Did you know symmetrical gross motor skills can contribute to things such as brain development, hand writing, and confidence as a child grows?! 🤯

⭐️ Additionally, having a trained pediatric PT screen vision, spine, and hips is important to address any underlying deficits.
