PT Works

One word to describe my friend when it comes down to walking-SCARED‼️

Working to overcome his fears and to improve balance. We are up to 8-10 unsupported steps. Mommy is ready for him to walk.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Breaking his extreme extension patterns has been a challenge, but we are overcoming them. Now to find a happy medium between flexion and extension to allow for higher level functions now that he can sit and get in/out of sitting.

Let’s go friend💙

I recall the season when my girl would couldn’t her head and it was a battle to get her to stand. It great to see her thriving and making progress.

WTG Friend💕

Swinging with intention to have fun and to improve head and trunk control. Also to bribe my friend into saying Ms. Teresa is his favorite 🤣

Good job big girl. Improving endurance, strength and balance = longer positional holds & improved ease with transitional movements.

Standing like a big girl. Recruiting her back hips, legs and ankle muscles! Look at her working on her standing balance. Great job princess.💕

Look who’s catching on to pull to stand. Great job little guy💙

Autism results in varying degrees of sensory modulation difficulties. Kids frequently lean on support and live in extremes to include excessive in-toeing, and slumped postures.

My friend trips over his feet and runs with feet close the the ground. We are working to address balance, in-toeing, falls and running.

Standing is a big part of walking. He seems to really enjoy it. He stood from sitting with very little assist, but needs moderate assistance to remain standing.

Stand TALL friend💙

Postural control is a must to achieve independent sitting. Sitting activities are great to prepare his muscles and nervous systems for higher level tasks including walking.

Look at that CONTROL. Type “control” if you see what’s happening.
