Alignment is crucial, especially when working with children. Strengthening a child who doesn’t have proper alignment can lead to complications that create even more damage in the long run. It’s essential to focus on getting the alignment right first to avoid unnecessary strain or injury. A solid foundation ensures a healthier and more effective development, preventing future issues and supporting growth in the right direction.

When kids lift their legs and roll their hips up, they wake up lots of important “helper muscles”! Their tummy muscles do most of the work, pulling the hips up nice and strong. Their hip flexors help lift the legs, and their core muscles keep everything steady. The glutes and lower back join in just a little to help control the movement.
This activity builds strong abs, great core control, and smooth coordinated movement , all through play!

This video shows the incredible results achieved with the cast on a young girl who had an internally rotated foot and a deformity. I’m so happy to see the progress my trainees have made, staying in contact with me and sharing the amazing outcomes they’re getting.
I never leave therapists on their own—while I teach the class, I’m always there to guide them whenever they need support. Our goal is to help more children early, to prevent them from being put in braces too soon. Some kids may truly need them, but many just need help developing their muscles before moving to braces.

Many children with muscle tone issues struggle to walk as their feet start to twist, even with braces. In one case, a girl continued to have the same walking difficulties with or without braces. Instead of simply using braces or Botox, the focus should be on correcting alignment and strengthening muscles for better movement. In our MTF program, we work on proper alignment to prevent future bone deviations or hip problems, helping kids become more independent whether they use braces or not. Some children don’t need braces at all, and when properly aligned, they can move more effectively, even with a walker. It’s not about relying on equipment but building the right foundation for movement
