Tummy Time Tip 💛

Tummy time doesn’t have to happen only on the floor.

Many babies do better starting with tummy time on a parent’s chest, across your lap, or supported on a pillow. These positions can make it easier for babies to lift their heads and build strength while still feeling comfortable and secure.

Tummy time helps babies develop:
• Neck strength
• Shoulder strength
• Core stability
• Head control for rolling and sitting

A few minutes several times a day can make a big difference over time.

If tummy time feels challenging for your baby, pediatric physical therapy can help find positions and strategies that work best for your family.

Spring sports are around the corner 🌷⚽️🏀

As kids head back to the field, court, and track, it’s common to see:

• Knee pain
• Heel pain
• Ankle sprains
• “Growing pains” that won’t go away

Active kids sometimes try to push through discomfort — but ongoing pain isn’t something they should ignore.

Pediatric physical therapy can help:
✔️ Identify what’s causing the pain
✔️ Improve strength and stability
✔️ Reduce risk of repeat injuries
✔️ Get them back to playing confidently

If your child is gearing up for spring sports and dealing with aches that keep coming back, we’re here to help. 💛

Growing bodies. Real injuries. Real solutions.

Orthopedic issues aren’t just “adult problems.” Active, growing kids can experience things like:

• Osgood-Schlatter’s
• Sever’s disease
• ACL injuries
• Patellofemoral knee pain
• Ankle sprains & chronic instability
• Hypermobility
• Neck and back pain

Sometimes it’s growth-related.
Sometimes it’s overuse.
Sometimes it’s something that needs a closer look.

Pediatric physical therapy focuses on identifying the root cause and creating a plan that supports your child’s goals — whether that’s returning to sports, keeping up with friends, or simply moving without pain.

And when something needs further medical evaluation? We communicate closely with your child’s doctor to make sure they get the right next steps.

If your child is dealing with pain that isn’t improving, it’s okay to ask questions. 💛

Kind words like these mean so much to our small practice. Thank you to the families who trust us with their little ones—it’s a privilege to support you and your children. 💛

Development isn’t one-size-fits-all

It’s common to hear things like “they’ll grow out of it” or “every kid develops at their own pace.”

While that’s often true, it can also miss an important piece of the picture.

Pediatric physical therapy looks at how a child moves—not just when milestones happen.

Things like:
• How a child transitions in and out of sitting
• Whether they favor one side
• Balance, coordination, and movement efficiency
• How movement supports play and daily activities

Sometimes kids don’t need therapy because something is “wrong”—they need support because movement feels harder than it should.

Early guidance can help build strong movement foundations and confidence as kids grow.

If you ever find yourself wondering “Is this something to watch?” — it’s okay to ask. 💛💚💙💜🧡❤️

If your child continues to walk on their toes beyond about 6 months of independent walking, it may be worth taking a closer look.

Persistent toe walking can place extra stress on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and low back over time, and may impact balance, coordination, and muscle strength as your child grows.

In pediatric physical therapy, we look at the why behind toe walking. Treatment may include:

💛 Gentle stretching and strengthening
💛 Balance and coordination activities
💛 Sensory-based movement strategies
💛 Guidance on footwear or orthotics, when appropriate

Early support can help encourage more efficient movement patterns and may reduce the risk of future discomfort or compensations. When concerns are addressed sooner, kids often make progress more easily—and therapy is often short-term.

If you have questions or are noticing ongoing toe walking, we’re always happy to help guide next steps. 💛

Parker began PT at 15 months old, working toward milestones like sitting, standing, and walking with support. With consistent therapy and amazing carryover at home, he kept building strength and confidence.

Today at 3.5 years old, Parker is walking and running independently, loving the playground, and happiest when he’s outside—rain or shine. Progress like this is a true team effort, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Starting physical therapy can feel overwhelming, and our goal is always to make the experience as comfortable as possible—for kids and parents alike.

Emily brings kindness, patience, and understanding into every session, helping families feel confident and supported along the way.

It is with heavy hearts we share Zippy’s crossing over the rainbow bridge. He had the best last week of his life traveling with Dr Emily to the coast for New Years, snuggling with his family and friends and eating his favorite snacks. Truly one of the sweetest creatures to ever bless our lives.

01/01/2026

As we welcome 2026, we want to pause and say thank you.

We’re so grateful for an incredible year and look forward to supporting our families in 2026.

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at Tabor Pediatric PT ✨
