First, I want to thank Case's family for allowing me to video their son. Case is a friend of Everett. I first met Case when he was about 11 months old. He hated being on his stomach, but he had figured out how to sit when placed. He didn't take weight on his legs either. His mother assumed he had reflux like her, so she did not push tummy time with him. The lack of weight bearing on his arms has affected his arm, leg, and trunk development. He has some stiffness, similar to a child with cerebral palsy. Medical Assessments with Case have recently determined that he has gallstones that he was likely born with that will have to be dealt with medically. I provided some general recommendations to his mother at 11 months, but starting at 14 months, she allowed me to film him. I am so excited to see him grow and change over time.
These videos are not to replace in-person physical therapy. Individualized therapy is critical for a child's success. Please do not try these with your child if your child has other risk factors or has skills, strengths, or weaknesses significantly different from Everett's. My email address is amysturkey@gmail.com. My website is www.pediatricPTexercises.com. Please remember I cannot provide treatment recommendations for a child I have not personally evaluated. You will need to find a local therapist for recommendations specific to your child.
These videos may be more helpful if seen in order as I perform easier treatment techniques first. Here is the link to his playlist:
