RE: Re: neck tightness and not rolling connection?

October 11, 2004

he has slight neck tightness, not tort (according to Cranial Tech). We have

been doing exercises with him and he is a big boy and is usually content on

either his back or belly, which is why he had thought he wasn't rolling

until it hit us one day that maybe it was from the neck tightness. Thanks

for the info.

,

So maybe he is a very content little boy. How about putting some really exciting toys just out of his reach so he has to move to get them? That might help with crawling so maybe it'll help with rolling too. Also, play little rolling games with him - i.e. you make him do the rolling back and forth while you sing or play with toys or tickle him.

Thanks . We've tried just about everything to get him to roll. He's

closer to crawling than rolling! He gets on all fours and rocks himself.

The only time he'll roll is if we push him up onto his side no matter how

hard we work with him at it. Our ORT at Cranial Tech just responded to my

email saying he may need PT and that if he is not rolling yet we should not

encourage crawling. I'm not sure on how i feel about that one! I'm going
