High Tone vs. Low Tone: What Every Parent Needs to Know!
Feb 24, 2026
Have you noticed your baby feeling a bit "stiff" or perhaps a little too "floppy"? Understanding muscle tone is a game-changer for your child's development.
This insightful video breaks down the crucial differences between High Tone (often linked to birth trauma and reflux) and Low Tone (which can be related to genetic factors).
A New Perspective on Movement
The video highlights a revolutionary concept: Muscles respond to movement; they don't just create it. This shifts the focus away from traditional "strengthening" or "stretching" (which can actually be harmful) and toward Transitional Movements.
By focusing on how a baby moves from one position to another, we help them find the perfect balance between active and passive muscle response.
Let's Discuss
Spotting the signs: How can parents tell the difference between "normal" newborn clumsiness and signs of high/low tone that need a professional eye?
Changing the Game: How does the idea that "muscles respond to movement" change the way we look at traditional physical therapy?
Actionable Examples: What are some specific transitional movements (like rolling or pivoting) that have helped your little one find their balance?
Stop the "wait and see" approach. Understanding these "hidden" sub-milestones is the key to unlocking your child's full potential!
