• First true developmental milestone

• Organizes gravity, breath, vision, and movement

• Foundation for rolling, reaching, and future posture

• Not optional, not an activity — a biological requirement

Key Principles

• Babies do not “hate” tummy time.

• If tummy time fails, it signals a movement organization issue, not a behavior issue.

Movement Lesson Deviation 1 — Optimal Tummy Time 

• Gentle buoyancy through chest and limbs

• Head turns left and right without effort

• Hands and feet respond to gravity

• Baby alternates between alert and calm states

• No distress, no collapse

• The nervous system is organizing efficiently

• Baby is building horizontal foundations on time

Movement Lesson Deviation 2 — Limited or Inconsistent Tummy Time

Most people think cerebral palsy is about muscles.

When these early movement forces don’t organize in the usual way, the body doesn’t stop trying — it compensates.

Why? Because she's had Movement Lesson since birth. This is the baby we've been following for the past year. Let's look at her analysis.

 TURNER AI NEUROMOTOR ANALYSIS — WHAT SHE IS ACTUALLY DOING

1. She is performing a controlled descent problem

Inputs she is managing:

• Gravity vector is pulling her straight down

• Lateral force from the support structure as she holds it

• Rotational torque as her pelvis shifts off the platform

• Anterior/posterior weight adjustment through the trunk

• Frontal-plane corrections through the feet

2. Her fine motor grasp is not “just hand use” — it is her spatial brake system

In the image:

• She is lying slightly side-tilted, not fully midline.

• Her mouth is open without balanced oral closure.

• Her tongue is not moving toward your finger with intention.

• Her jaw hangs more vertically than rotationally.

• There is visible ptosis (upper lid droop).

• The nasal bridge shows mild pressure collapse from prior intubation.

• Facial symmetry is reduced — one side is less active.

• Her cheeks and lips remain passive even with stimulation.

• The tongue sits “back and down,” not “up and forward.”

Which means:

 No tongue curl

 No lip rounding

 No raspberries

 No lateralizing tongue movements

 No reaching for the finger in...

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS

• If you’ve ever felt confused about your child’s development…

• If you’ve ever been told “wait and see”…

• If you’ve ever felt blamed, dismissed, or lost…

• If you’ve ever wished someone would simply explain what is going on —

Not linear. Not torque-driven. Rotational, oppositional flow.** And this film is perfect because it shows—even at the cellular level—there is no such thing as a straight-line biological event.

** 1. Ovary → Follicle → Release

 2. The Egg Drops Because Gravity Exists — Opposed by Rotation

 1. What his body is showing right now 

• He is lying prone with his head turned to the right.

• His right arm is extended forward, elbow straight.

• His trunk shows a long C-curve on the left — indicating he prefers right-sided rotation.

• Pelvis is slightly posterior, not anterior-loading.

• Lower ribs are compressed into the mat, with no buoyancy.

• His spine is not segmentally participating; it's "block rotation."

• His weight is not equal across his shoulders; the right shoulder is taking more load.

 He has a dominant rotation preference

Why parents around the world say this is the missing piece for Autism, CP, rare disorders, developmental delays, and movement challenges.

Most families come to me after trying everything—PT, OT, stretching, strengthening, devices, therapies, protocols… and still feeling like something isn't connecting.

Here's the truth:

 1. We Start with Gravity — Not Exercises

• head tilts instead of counterbalances

• eyes drift upward or sideways
