Movement in the Pelvis is Everything. Without the Pelvis Functional Movement Almost Becomes Impossible. 

Tummy time, rolling over, standing, walking, running, even writing, sticking the tongue out, riding a bike, all of these movements require the pelvis to be completely successful.

The pelvis is central to all the movements we make, so whether you want to initiate movement or improve movement, work on the pelvis.

See What Happens When You Restrict Movement In the Pelvis.

Using Things that Create Pelvic Restrictions for Extended Periods of Time Can Be of Serious Detriment to Your Childs Short and Long Term Development. 

These would include things like

• Car Seats
• Bumbo's
• Johnny Jump Ups
• Swaddling
• etc.

Working on the Spine

How is your child's spine?

Many of you coming to Movement Lesson™ have a child that has developed or is at risk for developing Scoliosis or other back problems. 

When you teach the spine to move through gravity in all directions, it can significantly alleviate these developing problems.

Felipe is one of the top Movement Lesson™ Practitioners in the world.

All the children love him because he is a big kid himself, and parents love how he teaches. 

He gives a different perspective and is a great resource when it comes to enhancing your practice of ML™ in the home. 

Here he offers great insight on how to work on the spine. 

Take 5 to 30 minutes today and practice what he teaches you here.

What if you offer a Movement Lesson at least once after a diaper change.

They’re already position on their back, a perfect opportunity to work on that weight transfer and pelvis. 

This could be a great time to bond with your baby because as we all know a Movement Lesson feel-good all the time .

Movement Lesson™ is a unique therapy method that offers newborns, children, and adults opportunities to experience functional movement that they might not be able to initiate, stimulate or enhance through their own abilities.

There I go into a variety of exercises that you can do to help your child move better. 

BLACK AND WHITE:

• Does your child have low-level vision?
• Does your child fail to respond to motion?
• Does your child fail to respond to an object and/or color?

1. Your child most likely will be stimulated but they are typically unable to look away.
2. They cannot focus on a B+W, making it difficult to use binocular vision and/or convergence.
3. There is no depth of field or depth perception when an area is being used for B+W.

Things to avoid:

• Mobile
• Playmat or carpet
• wall
• un-attended viewing (leaving your child alone)

Here, Felipe shows you the difference between immature and mature vision

• Immature vision is when the head moves with the eyes. 
• Mature vision is when the eyes can move independently from head movements. 
• At 12-14 months, a child should have mature vision.

If a child does not have the ability to express mature vision at this age, it is a sign that they will start to have (or are experiencing) deviations in movement development. 

Deviations in movement development can lead to developmental delays, if not addressed. 

That being said, in my Cognitive Vision Training, I show you how you can identify your child's movement deviations that are being caused by their immature vision. 

Then I show you how to start teaching your child mature vision skills. 

Typical children, like the girl in these pictures, who haven't fully developed their mature vision have a short attention span, and it's hard for them to focus on things for long periods of time.

Back Exercises for Scoliosis

Back Exercise #1 - The Video Above

Here I show you a technique you can do on someone who has scoliosis or for someone who has back problems.

I call it the Hanging Technique.

This technique helps to not force a movement but initiate movement.

You are not going directly to the spine but you are initiating movement on the spine.

Hanging Technique:

1. Place hand straight under armpits.
2. Be sure not to grab because once you grab you force the movement.
3. Slowly go and down, side to side, initiating weight transfer.

This helps extend the spine allowing for more movement and counterbalance to happen within the spine.

There are three key areas to be evaluated for your child's ultimate vision:

What Causes Tiptoe Walking?

Tiptoe walking or "toe walking" is a sign of a child's inability to transfer their weight from the heel to the toe. (We would call it a typical heel-to-toe walk.)

It's natural to want to force the heel to the ground using casts or shoe inserts to create a typical heel-to-toe walk. 

But as I always say, "With force, you get force, and with rotation you get movement."

A number of things can interrupt a child's ability to weight transfer through the foot. 

Things that could cause toe walking are:

• the child's foot could have been pulled on the wrong way at birth or
• the child lacks natural muscle tone, and so on.

What's more important than the causes of toe walking is for you to note that your child has an inability to weight transfer through the foot. 

The transitional skill that is lost here is the child's or person's ability to start with flat feet, go up on their tiptoes, and then bring the heels back down to the...
