Understanding How Asymmetry Blocks Progress Through A TMR Tots and Teens Lens
90-Minute Live Interactive Session | Replay Included
When your kids aren’t progressing, adding more may not be the answer.
In this session, we’ll discuss how to pause and find hidden blocks and measurable patterns that unlock progress.
“Everything that we’re doing is looking for the easy way first"
What if progress improves when you stop putting the effort into practicing what the child finds difficult? What if adding more effort is reinforcing the problem?
When You’ve Seen Seen This Pattern

You've practiced the transitions
You've adjusted the position
You've added orthotics and straps and stim
And still…
-
He always gets up through that same side.
-
She collapses into sacral sitting.
-
Tone kicks in.
-
One side dominates.
-
The in-toeing stubbornly persists.
You can feel there’s potential there.
Your gut tells you there’s more.
But you don’t know how to tease it out.
When a child presents with multiple issues, it’s easy to:
-
Focus on strengthening.
-
Add reps.
-
Increase intensity.
But what if the goal you’re working on isn’t the primary issue?
What if you could unlock something that's blocking them?
And instead of working harder...
You made the hard stuff easier for them?

All are welcome.

You might say:
-
“I have kids who collapse to one side.”

“I have kids where one side consistently dominates.”
We will explore those types of patterns.
We will not unpack a full individual case history with diagnosis and detailed presentation.
