Fun is built in to every session at ShenandoahSOUNDstart! We understand that if we want kids to practice the skills they are working on in therapy sessions, the skills must be relevant to the child’s life. #shenandoahsoundstart #teletherapy #kidsPT #pediatricPT #balance #grossmotor #coordinationactivities #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #gettingkidsengaged #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #playwithpurpose #motorplanning #winchester #pediatrictherapy #PT #shenandoahsoundstart #soundstart (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr4PUwBYM4/?igshid=b5m35mqv0hkn

Physical therapy is about movement and so much more! PTs can help parents understand new ways to engage with their child, and methods to promote emotional regulation. Once we have a child who is engaged and ready to work, the process of improving gross motor skills, balance, strength, and coordination can really begin. #shenandoahsoundstart #teletherapy #kidsPT #pediatricPT #balance #grossmotor #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #emotionalregulation #gettingkidsengaged #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #winchester #pediatrictherapy #PT #soundstart (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErVQGrBGD6/?igshid=1bcttpj9cxab1

Peek-a-boo! A simple developmentally appropriate and fun game can provide so many benefits! The physical therapy goals for this game include improving sitting balance, grip strength, and shoulder range of motion. But there is social-emotional learning, language learning, visual development and sensory stimulation going on as well. Peek-a-boo helps foster the concept of object permanence, strengthen visual tracking, promote bonding, and teach early turn-taking. Best of all, babies love it! #shenandoahsoundstart #teletherapy #kidsPT #pediatricPT #balance #grossmotor #coordinationactivities #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #gettingkidsengaged #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #playwithpurpose #motorplanning #winchester #pediatrictherapy #PT #soundstart #sensoryplay #bondingwithbaby #babyplay (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEGDSiNBnZE/?igshid=1omwh7k926a1r

One physical therapy activity can work on coordination, motor planning, range of motion, endurance, strength and balance. Another important goal for children is to build confidence and foster joy in personal accomplishments. Children who are confident in their skills will be more willing and able to participate in gross motor activities with peers. And isn’t play what childhood is all about? #shenandoahsoundstart #grossmotor #playwithpurpose #pediatricPT #motorplanning #kidsexercise #Teletherapy #physicaltherapy #kidsPT #balance #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #winchester #pediatrictherapy #PT #pediatrictherapy #ptvirginia #pediatricphysicaltherapy #soundstart (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5KareB2vs/?igshid=1movw11b7pth7

It’s back-to-school time! Whether your child is going to be distance learning, attending traditional school, or doing a hybrid version of both, they will surely be sitting for a good portion of their day. For kids with low muscle tone, balance concerns or core weakness, sitting still can be a difficult task, and can affect their ability to learn. To give your child a heads up on the school year, try this fun activity to help promote sitting balance, core strength and crossing midline. Any stickers and ball will do! If you have concerns about your child’s balance, strength or development, Shenandoah SOUNDstart can help! Teletherapy evaluations and treatment sessions are available. #shenandoahsoundstart #grossmotor #playwithpurpose #pediatricPT #motorplanning #kidsexercise #Teletherapy #physicaltherapy #lowtone #kidsPT #balance #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #winchester #pediatrictherapy #PT #soundstart #corestrength #bettersitting (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDz-W6yhZWr/?igshid=16ntn74r9q84r

Good posture is something that is often overlooked. Did you know that our posture can affect how well we feel, as well as our ability to balance and perform fine or gross motor tasks? Sitting upright is the body's ability to balance front and back muscles and allows us to free up our hands to use them for skills like playing with toys, coloring, and writing as we get older. A pediatric physical therapist can help you and your child learn what good posture is and to assess what the issues are that are preventing the needed spinal alignment. Practicing sitting 'cat-cow' yoga exercises is a great way for the whole family to improve posture and body awareness. Why don't you give it a try? If you suspect your child may be having posture or balance issues, you should discuss treatment with your child's pediatrician. A physical therapy assessment can help determine if treatment is needed. If you have ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 crisis and the risks to your family, Shenandoah SOUNDstart can help. We are currently providing clinic-based and teletherapy evaluations and therapy for children of all ages. #shenandoahsoundstart #teletherapy #kidsPT #pediatricPT #balance #grossmotor #finemotor #exerciseforkids #developmentalexercises #winchesterkidsPT #telehealthPT #learnthroughplay #posture #winchester #soundstart (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoyy2mhqY4/?igshid=1t4w4783k9ebz

Balance doesn't always just “happen.” Sometimes it takes lots of hard work and encouragement. Physical therapists can help children advance their balance skills in many fun and safe ways. Try this at home! It’s easier to balance on one foot if you use a playground ball like this boy, or, you can try using one foot on a stool or block if the ball is too difficult. Adding the support of the sofa to the rear helps if a child is fearful or just needs a little extra support. Teletherapy can help you help your child succeed.
