Reaching in Hands and Knees--Learning to Crawl: Physical Therapy For a Child with Torticollis #28

Meet Ilya! Ilya was born one-month premature. He has torticollis and plagiocephaly. He is diagnosed with failure to thrive/malnutrition. He has GERD and has difficulty with projectile vomiting. He also has a lip tie/tongue tie and feeding difficulties with poor suction and latch.
These videos are not to replace in-person physical therapy. Individualized therapy is critical for a child's success. Please do not try these with your child if your child has other risk factors or has skills, strengths, or weaknesses significantly different from Ilya's. My email address is [e-mail]. My website is www.pediatricPTexercises.com. Please remember I cannot provide treatment recommendations for a child I have not personally evaluated. You will need to find a local therapist for recommendations specific to your child.
These videos may be more helpful seen in order as I perform easier treatment techniques first. Here is the link to his playlist:

If you have questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me at [e-mail]. Please note: I cannot provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.

[@TheAudi27]

Thank you for this video. Is it possible to do a video like this for a baby that has hemiparesis?

[@pediatricPTexercises]

I would love to. I would need to have a baby to do that with.

[@TheAudi27]

@@pediatricPTexercises fair.

[@pediatricPTexercises]

I appreciate you understanding

[@MixedMediaInk]

What happens if torticollis isn't caught early. Can you perform similar exercises?

[@pediatricPTexercises]

You can perform similar exercises, but the treatment is much more effective if it is quite early

[@stelladaniel269]

My 8 months old can’t sit craw or move her head around

[@pediatricPTexercises]

I strongly recommend you find a local pediatric therapist who can assist you. In the meantime, here is my head control playlist. Head Control kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjNf7b1x0fPKdDimNNG2zfPj

My 11 month old can nearly walk but can't stay on her hands and knees by herself and she's not even close to crawling. I'll try this exercise but the issue is she will cry the entire time

[@pediatricPTexercises]

Some 11 months old children cry all the time no matter what. You could try it at their happiest time of the day or with their favorite toy or with their favorite person. Or you might be trying an activity that’s too hard. Here is my tummy Time playlist. Maybe something in this playlist will help you. kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjM9Uhapp0zxmyOS2yoKvjQ4&si=6HDNPQyczTyyqF52
