Home Exercise Program
Supergirl and Superboy
Tummy down, arms and legs up. It is a simple position that reaches the muscles children use least. Here is what it builds and what to watch for at home.
01Home Exercise
Everything along the back of the body.
Lifting the arms and legs from the tummy works the back extensors and the glutes together, the muscles that hold a child upright in a chair, steady on a bike, and tall enough to see over the table. Children who spend most of the day sitting rarely load these muscles at all. Watch for the chest lifting with the arms, a long neck rather than a chin jammed back, and legs lifting from the hips instead of arching the low back.

This is a general movement idea, not a personal program. Your child's own home program should come from the therapist who has evaluated them. Call us at (914) 939-6400 →
