Movement in the Pelvis is Everything. Without the Pelvis Functional Movement Almost Becomes Impossible. 

Tummy time, rolling over, standing, walking, running, even writing, sticking the tongue out, riding a bike, all of these movements require the pelvis to be completely successful.

The pelvis is central to all the movements we make, so whether you want to initiate movement or improve movement, work on the pelvis.

Working on the Spine

How is your child's spine?

Many of you coming to Movement Lesson™ have a child that has developed or is at risk for developing Scoliosis or other back problems.

Here, Felipe shows you the difference between immature and mature vision

• Immature vision is when the head moves with the eyes. 
• Mature vision is when the eyes can move independently from head movements. 
• At 12-14 months, a child should have mature vision.

If a child does not have the ability to express mature vision at this age, it is a sign that they will start to have (or are experiencing) deviations in movement development. 

Deviations in movement development can lead to developmental delays, if not addressed. 

That being...

Back Exercises for Scoliosis

Back Exercise #1 - The Video Above

Here I show you a technique you can do on someone who has scoliosis or for someone who has back problems.

I call it the Hanging Technique.

This technique helps to not force a movement but initiate movement.

You are not going directly to the spine but you are initiating movement on the spine.

Hanging Technique:

1. Place hand straight under armpits.
2. Be sure not to grab because once you grab you force the movement.
3. Slowly go and down, side to side, initiating weight transfer.

What Causes Tiptoe Walking?

Tiptoe walking or "toe walking" is a sign of a child's inability to transfer their weight from the heel to the toe. (We would call it a typical heel-to-toe walk.)

It's natural to want to force the heel to the ground using casts or shoe inserts to create a typical heel-to-toe walk. 

But as I always say, "With force, you get force, and with rotation you get movement."

A number of things can interrupt a child's ability to weight transfer through the foot. 

Things that could cause toe walking are:

• the child's foot...
