PT, Rolling


Katie is very good at rolling belly to back, the easier way. Next we needed to work on back to belly. I told her Physical Therapist that I thought she wanted to roll but her arm was getting stuck. I would try to help by moving her arm and Katie would get angry. The PT teacher said that getting stuck is very common and all I have to do is lift up a tiny bit on her head and Katie flipped right over!

We practiced the roll a few times over the next two days. Then this morning I found Katie in her bed on her belly! She is now rolling both ways! I didn’t get a picture because her arm was stuck in the slat and she was angry.

Here are some pictures of what was happening and how I was taught to help her.

 Left arm stuck in the roll.

Terrible picture, but here I am just slightly lifting her head up off the ground.

 Roll complete!
