Physiotherapy has traditionally been viewed as rehabilitation associated with injury and recovery. In Spring Forward, we view Physiotherapy as a skill set that can analyze movement and develop strategies to help our clients understand their own bodies and be able to achieve their highest potential. This can start at any age and, yes, even with babies.<\/p>\n

As discussed in article 5 Reasons why your child could benefit from Physiotherapy<\/a><\/strong> learning starts with movement, but movement is also the catalyst for how our cells develop. When you are around 8 weeks pregnant, your baby starts moving. This occurs before you even start to feel movement (approx. 16-22 weeks). But why all this movement when your baby is getting everything it needs from your womb? Research shows that these movements have a role to play in cell development i.e. hiccups help cells to develop lung tissue and eye movements help retinal cell development.<\/p>\n
