When should I reach out to a Physical Therapist?

You should likely involve a Physical Therapist if your child has concerns in any of the following areas:

If your infant: Is slow to move or lacks movement, avoids tummy time, is not rolling by 7 months, is developing a flat spot on their head, or experiences poor head control

If your toddler: walks on their tiptoes, has poor standing balance, is not walking by 18 months old, is not navigating stairs independently by 2.5 years old, or has a strong preference for "W" sitting.
