I can't tell you enough how much of an improvement I have witnessed already &I we have only been doing the exercises for one week!
Today was a harder day for him. They did a lot of massaging of the left lumbar muscle and by his shoulder in hopes that it would release some of the tightness. She was worried his shoulder was stuck but thankfully it wasn't!
He went on the stability ball. An almost 10 month old on a stability ball, who knew!
His scoliosis is causing several instabilities throughout his body. The thoracic curve is causing his left arm to be week compared to his right.
Crawling is never a necessity for a baby but in his situation it needs to become that. Crawling promotes core strength and strong core is needed for walking.
He is still doing some things that he should not be doing at his age. For in stance, when you hold him by the arms to walk he doesn't instantly want to put his legs down immediately and he stabilizes himself using mostly his right grip not his left.
When you lift him on his side he doesn't always lift his head to try to be upright. He should be trying to lift his body upright.
Babies are born with their abdominal muscles not fully attached but as they get stronger the muscles kinda "merge". This happens when they use their core. Teagues are not merging as fast as a "normal" infant.
However, even with these delays he will do just fine developmentally down the road! Yeah 😄
I am so grateful for his PT referral.
