Breakthrough: Balance Over Strength
This past summer, I broke every rule — and a little girl sat for the first time in her life.
-
Not because we made her "stronger."
-
Not because we forced posture or used equipment.
-
But because we gave her room to balance.
First, we adjusted her position — a side sit with one foot off the table. Her pelvis finally had enough space to breathe, and from there… everything changed.
Before, she used her head to balance — tossing it backward, overcorrecting, unable to stabilize.
But now, with skeletal buoyancy kicking in, the pelvis could do its job, and her head floated like a balloon.
I tilted her slightly.
To the right: her head stayed.
To the left: it gently corrected to center — a reflex, not a strain.

This isn't about strength. This is about balance. This is how the body remembers gravity — and how movement begins again.You can't be strong enough to balance.
But when you have balance, anything is possible.
