Have you noticed your baby's motor milestones regressing or hitting a plateau? Are they struggling to sit up, crawl, or walk despite months of traditional therapy? Does your child seem to fatigue easily, slouch constantly, and avoid physical activities altogether? We know how hard this can be!! 🥹 Many parents are left frustrated and confused when their child hits a plateau in care!
Motor milestones are just one aspect we see with regressions! For the majority of kids struggling with missed motor milestones, the real root cause goes way beyond tight muscles and a weak core and may have been originally triggered by birth interventions such as forceps, vacuum, induction, and c-section deliveries. These sorts of physically traumatic births can cause what’s called subluxation of the brainstem and upper neck regions, where all motor tone and coordination are controlled. 🧠 This will then shift the nervous system as a whole into what’s called sympathetic dominance or excessive tone. THIS is what can lead to regressions or plateaus when it comes to PT and OT! The nervous system has to be regulated first! Then other therapies can help so much more!!
