“She’s so strong.”
It’s one of the most common things we hear from parents of babies who are actually carrying significant tension.
Strength and tension can look very similar in infants.
This little one hated tummy time, arched constantly, preferred looking one direction, and lived in extension. Everyone saw a strong, alert baby.
What we saw was a nervous system that was working overtime.
After a period of chiropractic care and simple homework for the family, tummy time became enjoyable, movement became more symmetrical, rolling developed naturally, and even sleep and digestion improved.
Sometimes the goal isn’t teaching a baby a milestone.
Sometimes it’s removing the barriers that make development harder than it needs to be.
