Why My Baby Is Not Crawling or Rolling: Test Lower Trunk Side Bend

#totalmotionrelease #tmrtots #drlaurenbaker

You may be wonder, "why my baby is not crawling?" and often, in my experience as a pediatric physical therapist, the problem can be trunk mobility. When you use the TMR method, you look at a baby's range of motion and whether it is equal side to side. In rolling and crawling, children need to be able to elongate (stretch) one side of their body and that includes being able to have their lower trunk moved in side bend equally and easily in both directions.
