Physical Therapy -> Strength -> Sitting
Sitting
When a baby struggles to sit alone, PT can work on strength and balance exercises. When a child struggles with sitting in the floor or in a chair, PT can help work on core strength and leg stretches to make sure the child can sit for long periods of time with good trunk control.
