Why Rolling Over Matters More Than You Think
Sep 05, 2025
Rolling over isn’t just a “cute baby milestone” — it’s one of the first demonstrations of rotational intelligence.
When a baby rolls, they’re not just flipping side to side. They’re:
• Learning how to cross midline with their body and brain.
• Building the foundation for balance, vision tracking, and coordination.
• Training the coccyx and pelvis to begin their lifelong job: organizing gravity through rotation.
Without rolling, the nervous system skips critical practice in weight transfer and rotational binding. That gap shows up later in sitting, crawling, walking — even in balance and sports performance years down the road.
Movement isn’t about strength first. It’s about rotation first. Rolling is where it all begins.Click HERE to try our Rolling Over course!
