As the Twig Is Bent, So Grows the Tree

While yes, it is heart warming and funny, it
is a reminder of just how common knocks and falls are in childhood. It is
estimated that by age 3, a child will have had three major falls such as off
the changing table, out of a bed or down a flight of stairs. I know this
certainly rings true for my child. As
for the number of minor falls such as tipping over on their head as they learn
to sit, crawl and walk – it may be thousands of times throughout childhood.
Kids seem to bounce right back, but this may
hide the subtle damage caused by these seemingly insignificant slips and falls
that lead to neurostructural shifts over time.
This is why we believe the best way to
protect our children against future secondary conditions is to have them
checked regularly for any abnormal shifts. We use
specific techniques with children and tailor
the adjustments to the child’s size and age. This allows the best support for
optimal growth.
