From wiggly newborn to confident mover—all development happens in stages. 🐛 ➡️ 🦋
1️⃣ Reflexive movements – Those automatic kicks, grasps, and startles lay the groundwork for intentional movement.
2️⃣ Rudimentary movements – Rolling, sitting, crawling… the first big milestones that build strength and control.
3️⃣ Fundamental movements – Walking, running, jumping, throwing—big skills that open up a whole new world of play.
4️⃣ Specialized movements – Sports, dance, gymnastics—refined skills that require coordination, balance, and practice.
Pediatric physical therapy supports kids through every stage—helping them build the skills they need to move, explore, and thrive.
