Hip Flexor Stretch: #babydevelopment #pediatrics #stretching

Hi, I’m Dana and I have been a pediatric physical therapist for 25 years. You can read more about my practice at the top of my channel.

I see kids for a lot of different disabilities including developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, genetic disorders, dystrophies, and more. I cannot give individualized medical advice on social media and you need your doctors permission to try any exercises with your child. A therapist needs to be trained in order to perform these highly skilled exercises.
~
I see kids for intensives in Cary, North Carolina for 1,2, or 3 weeks for 2 visits per day. We are able to show a lot of progress with our little patients and I share that to bring hope to other parents around the world. You can find booking information at the link at the top of my channel. We also accept donations for kids that may not be able to pay for therapy. Please see 502(c)(3) link at top of channel.

I don’t share diagnoses or personal info of each child on my page because kids are defined by their diagnosis. It’s my philosophy and you can read more about it on my website which is linked at the top of my channel.

I work with the other end of the life span spectrum. Many of my patients can't stand up straight because of shortened psoas muscles from too much sitting. I have them doing psoas stretching at the end of the bed daily. It takes a while to undo the damage of sedentary years. Those stretches are good for all ages 😊

I know of a child with hip dysplasia which was not picked up early and he is now waiting till after his first birthday to have corrective surgery. The doctors tried with casts to pop the hips back but were unsuccessful due to tissue growth. Is there anything helpful the parents can be doing in the meantime?

Doctor how are you. My baby has got stiffness on his hands

I know from experience that a tight hip flexor can be extremely painful.

Will this work for an adult as well? I left a comment on another video. And then found this one.

Where can I buy a thumb splint that you wear ? I can't find a similar.
