MOTOR MILESTONE MONDAY! A new series on our page!
This week’s motor milestone is 🥁🥁🥁… LATERAL HEAD RIGHTING
Lateral head righting is a reflex where babies try to keep their eyes level when they are tipped to the side 👀 This is expected around the 3️⃣ month age mark!
This reflex helps the body maintain ✅balance & ✅stability during movement, and symmetrical head righting side to side is a sign of symmetrical neck strength ⚖️!
If your baby is delayed in head righting, you notice a head tilt or asymmetrical head righting, read here ⬆️ about some tips & tricks to encourage it 🔑, and come to Kids Physio for an assessment and individualized treatment!
See more about what to expect, when to expect it, how Physiotherapy can help, and other tips in this post! 🥳
