Progress isn’t always linear or fast — sometimes it’s just choosing to keep moving. One step at a time, forward is forward. Good things are up ahead! 🤍

This is where things start to get FUN! 🤍

The 6–9 month age range is when you’ll see so much movement happening. Babies are building strength, coordination, and confidence in big ways during this season.

While this isn’t a complete list, here are some exciting gross motor skills often emerging during this time:
✨ Consistently rolling tummy to back and back to tummy
✨ Sitting independently
✨ Transitioning in and out of sitting
✨ Playing in side sitting
✨ Pushing up onto hands and knees

Remember — every little one develops at their own pace. That’s why there’s a healthy range for these milestones to appear.
If your baby is around 8–9 months and not showing signs of these skills yet, it may be helpful to consult with a skilled pediatric physical therapist for guidance and peace of mind.

We’re always here to support you 🤍

Crawling is more than just getting from point A to B — it’s building the foundation for strength, coordination, and overall motor development! 👶💛

While babies may experiment with variations like the b***y scoot or hitch crawl, the hands-and-knees 4-point crawl is the preferred pattern because it promotes symmetrical core activation, shoulder stability, and balanced muscle development.

If your little one consistently sticks to a non-4-point crawl, it’s worth an evaluation to make sure their movement skills are developing evenly. We’re here to help you navigate the next steps! Call us for an evaluation: 334-316-3781!

Over the last few months, Everly has been absolutely thriving! Each session, she amazes us with her growing strength and confidence. She’s taking more confident steps, showing improved proprioception and balance reactions, navigating over objects with ease, running, and falling far less often. Watching her growth has been such a special experience. We are so incredibly proud of this sweet girl!

The first few months go by in a blur… but there are so many little milestones happening behind the scenes 🤍

Here are just a few exciting gross motor moments to look for in the first 0–3 months of your baby’s life! While this isn’t a complete list, these are some small (but mighty!) changes that show your baby is growing stronger every day.
✨ Raises their head and chest during tummy time
✨ Bringing hands to mouth
✨ Beginning to push through their arms
✨ Turning their head side to side

Every baby develops at their own pace — these milestones are guides, not deadlines. If you ever have questions about your little one’s development, we’re always here to help 🤍

Mom brought us her brand new baby for head preference and latch concerns, and after just one session, she was already noticing changes!

Newborns are incredibly responsive when we intervene early. Their nervous systems are still learning, adapting, and building patterns — which means small, intentional adjustments can make a big impact.

When head turning preferences and latch difficulties are addressed early, we often see:
- Smoother feeds
- Less frustration
- More symmetrical positioning
- Increased confidence for mom

If you’re noticing a side preference, latch difficulty on one side, or early flattening — you don’t have to “wait and see.”
We love caring for mamas and their babies in those first few weeks 🤍
Reach out — we’d be honored to support you.

Practicing floor-to-stand transitions helps babies build crucial strength in their legs, hips, and core, improving balance and coordination necessary for walking! This helps prepare them to bear weight independently, fostering independence, motor skill development, and confidence in exploring their environment in an upright position. Try this with your little one and watch their standing confidence grow!

Tall kneeling and half kneeling are powerful positions for building the foundation for crawling and walking!

They strengthen the hips, core, and glutes while encouraging upright posture and active trunk control. These positions promote weight shifting, balance reactions, and coordination between the upper and lower body, which are essential skills for transitioning between positions. Practicing tall and half kneeling helps babies develop confidence in upright movement and prepares their bodies for efficient 4-point crawling, pulling to stand, and eventually walking. 👣

We don’t provide home exercise programs as an optional add-on to your care — they’re an essential part of your or your child’s progress. Home exercises are designed to enhance results between sessions, reinforce what we work on in the clinic, and help achieve long-lasting outcomes, not just short-term relief. Each program is fully personalized to patient’s specific needs and is continually adjusted as changes and improvements are made.

Because what you do between visits matters just as much as what happens during them 💙
