Home Exercise Videos in Westchester County
You nodded along in the session, and by Thursday you cannot remember whether the knee was supposed to be up or down. That is normal. Everybody forgets. So we put the exercises our Port Chester and Mt Kisco families ask about most on video, grouped by age, so you can watch the movement again instead of guessing. Our video library also holds success stories from families here, worth a few minutes if you are still deciding whether therapy is the right next step for your child.
Find your child's age, press play.
Preschool Home Exercises
Ages 3 and 4. Balancing on one foot, half kneeling stretch, supergirl, crab walk and animal yoga, all played as games.
School Age Home Exercises
Ages 5 to 7. Half kneel, sit ups, jump rope, an indoor balance beam, superman and hop scotch for balance and core.
Ages 7 and Up
Hurdles, superman and knee tucks. Harder work for bigger kids who need more challenge than the preschool set.
Can a video replace physical therapy in Port Chester or Mt Kisco?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. These videos exist to support a plan, not to be one. A child who is not yet sitting or walking, or whose head tilts to one side, needs someone to watch how they move and work out what is actually limiting them, which is what an evaluation is for. What videos are very good at is repetition. Skills are built through graded practice, a little harder each time, done often enough that the body stops needing to think about it. A few minutes on a Tuesday morning in the kitchen does more than one heroic hour on a Sunday. Pick one or two, keep it playful, stop before frustration sets in. If you are unsure which are right for your child, ask your therapist, or bring the question to a free 15 minute consultation. There is more on the resources hub.
