You can improve your child’s posture

So far, in previous posts, we have explained that the right tension of the fascial system is key for posture and movement.

We have also learned that in most individuals with cerebral palsy, the tensional system is weak (check the example of the jello melting).

In this post, we want to show some examples of what happens when parents, like you, learn how to work on their child’s fascia and follow the routines we teach them at WeFlow. 

The following are comparisons of the different assessments we have of some of our kids, both in our office or online programs. In all of them, you can see how the kids improve their posture from within once the abdomen gets stronger enough to support the torso and the pelvis is realigned. Most of the kids are sitting on the sacrum when they start, and as their parents work with them, their pelvis realigns and they improve their posture. 

These children all have cerebral palsy but their levels vary from mild (level 1) to more compromised (level 5). 

No matter how old they were when they started, all of them show the same improvements in posture.

WeFlow´s tip for you!

Wrapping your child’s abdomen with WeFlow’s binder or with an abdominal support will give stability to the child’s torso and will help strengthen your child’s abdomen.
