Watching a baby find their balance is like watching a miracle in slow motion. In our recent session, we focused on a critical developmental bridge: Head Support & Visual Integration.

For a baby experiencing initial weakness, "holding the head up" is more than a physical feat—it’s a cognitive awakening. By providing strategic, dynamic support to the head and spine, we allow the nervous system to stop "fighting" gravity and start "exploring" the world.

 What’s Happening in This Session?
The Head-Back Link: By stabilizing the head, we activate the deep back muscles (paraspinals), allowing for a longer, stronger spine.

A New Perspective: When a baby shifts from lying down to a vertical or prone orientation, their brain begins to map depth, distance, and spatial awareness for the first time.

Visual Tracking: Notice the progress in eye coordination! Bearing weight on the hands isn't just about arm strength; it provides the stable base needed for...

Why math does not close in standard practices (PT / DMI as commonly applied) and why it does close in Movement Lesson as you practice it.

What “math works out” actually means here

When you say the math works, you are not talking about equations on paper.
You’re talking about conservation and transfer:

• force → movement

• movement → organization

• organization → reduced energy cost

• reduced energy cost → repeatability

• repeatability → development

If any step breaks, the system compensates, and the math diverges. That’s the lens. 

Standard PT / DMI: What variables do they prioritize?

Most conventional approaches optimize for local variables:

• muscle activation

• joint range of motion

• Symmetry in static positions

• linear strength

• task completion (“walking”, “standing”, “grasping”)

These variables are treated as independent.  The implicit math assumption They assume: If we improve local variables, a global organization will emerge. That as...

Vision has three major load-handling stages:

• Input – eyes, retina, optic nerve

• Routing & prediction – brainstem, thalamus, visual midline integration

• Interpretation – cortical visual areas (ventral + dorsal streams)

In Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI):

• input may be adequate

• interpretation may exist

• But routing + load regulation is unreliable

 What if you realize that we are functioning around gravity, yet this is a containment.

One of the most important things that happens to us during the birthing process is exposure to gravity.

 To become a constant, we need to add intake and elimination. Once gravity exists as a constant, the question becomes:

How do I move, adapt, and function without fighting the container? The answer is rotation.

Rotation allows:

• load redistribution without collapse

• transition without force escalation

• movement without loss of reference

• waste venting without explosion

Rotation is cooperation with gravity, not resistance to it.

That’s why:

• joints rotate

• spines spiral

• gait alternates

• midline organizes around torsion

• balance emerges from twist, not rigidity

A non-rotational system inside gravity must:

• push

• brace

• lock

• flail

Which is exactly what you see in robots — and dysregulated humans.
