“As a newborn, you already did the hard work of developing your postural muscles as you struggled to hold your head up in “tummy time” or to scoot, roll, sit, or stand to get to favorite toys!  Unfortunately, our lifestyle (e.g., injuries, bad habits, diet, stress) can take a toll on our musculoskeletal health. And, for PWP, worsening of posture is one of those . . . ”

Previously we considered how much therapy time is dedicated to actually be on the floor. This article circles back towards rising from the floor, because ultimately what goes down must come back up and goal-directed interventions are important.
