Movement Lesson: Breathing in Sitting

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord to die. This progressive neurodegenerative disease affects the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord and impacts the muscles used for activities such as breathing, eating, crawling, and walking. SMA is a genetic disorder starting in the central nervous system (CNS) and affects all the muscles in the body.

Movement Lesson techniques provide central nervous system input that reintroduces weight transfer, momentum, rotation, and buoyancy (within the laws of gravity), improving function in activities such as sitting and breathing. Movement Lesson™ offers training and exercises you can do at home to help your child move as efficiently as possible, tailored to their needs.
