Physical Therapy

Grant had his first session of physical therapy on Thursday. The PT is so nice and was great with him. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I guess if you're going to be a pediatric physical therapist you better be really good with kids. She moved him around and manipulated his arms and legs. She played with him with some of the toys and watched him try different things. She also took some measurements to track his progress. She said that we're already ahead of the game because we're starting so early and he has full range of motion in his neck, which some torticollis babies do not have. He just doesn't like to use his full range of motion so we need to work on that. She gave us some handouts and had us practice a stretch we need to do with him. Grant needs to have lots of tummy time, which he's not so fond of. But he's a little better about it than he has been in the past. And we noticed Thursday night Grant finally figured out how to move his arm and was completely on his tummy! Now he needs to learn to flip back over so he doesn't wake up mad. Anyway, Grant has to go to therapy every week for the next 3-6 months. Hopefully closer to 3 months since he already has the full range of motion in his neck.
