Does your baby's crawl look a little off? πΆπΌ
Here are three exercises we use in PT that you can try at home:
Upper body weight bearing β Hold your baby at the pelvis and let all their body weight press through their arms onto the floor. This builds the arm and shoulder strength they need to crawl.
Assisted tall kneel β Support your baby's knees and hips from behind while they kneel upright. This activates the hip and core muscles that stabilize their crawl.
Supported pelvic alignment β With your baby in crawl position, hold their pelvis and align it with their shoulders and arms. This promotes balanced crawl mechanics.
Save this and send it to a parent who needs it! π
