How to Improve Head Control in Babies with Pull To Sit Exercise

#howtoimproveheadcontrolinbabies #pulltositexercise #improveheadcontrol

In this video, we talk about how to improve head control in babies with the pull to sit exercise. I love giving this exercise to parents with the goal of increasing their baby's core strength and head control by first supporting the shoulders. We also talk about why doctors test pull to sit and what they're looking for.
