Occupational therapy focusing on optimal movement and development in the pre-crawling and crawling baby
At TummyTOTS OT we understand babies. We value what makes each baby unique and know how to build on their strengths to help improve their abilities and support their growth.
With TummyTOTS OT you and your baby will develop the knowledge and skills to strengthen both your bond and their physical abilities.
Individual sessions are recommended for any and all infants, but specifically those experiencing:
- Oral restrictions including tongue and lip ties
Torticolis or head preferences
Head molding/flattening
- Increased fussiness, gas, reflux, and/or colic
Difficulties achieving developmental milestones
Inability to complete tummy time
In a one-on-one session with an occupational therapist, your baby’s abilities will be individually assessed, and you’ll receive personalized guidance to help support their developmental progress and improve their function.
Individual sessions might include the use of the TummyTime!™Method which can help them take tummy time from a challenge into something enjoyable! We focus on play and engagement while teaching you how to support your baby’s developmental milestones. Each session, we’ll explore new topics, including proper positioning, milestone tracking, flat head prevention, and more.
