Low muscle tone (Hypotonia) means the body feels “loose,” weak, or floppy.
• Kids may struggle with posture, sitting straight, balance, and coordination.
• Early signs include delayed milestones, quick tiredness, poor handwriting, and difficulty with feeding or dressing.
• Low muscle tone can also affect speech clarity because the mouth muscles get tired easily.
• It impacts everyday tasks like walking, jumping, climbing stairs, and holding a pencil.
• With early therapy—OT, physiotherapy, strength training—children can improve stability, body control, and motor skills.
• Awareness helps parents take early action, leading to faster progress and better independence.
• ABC Spectrum Center provides structured plans for kids with hypotonia to support development in all areas. ✔️
