A baby and child musculoskeletal check-up is an opportunity to ensure your child’s growth and development are on track.

 

During these check-ups, we take a detailed history and assess your child’s development, including the achievement of important milestones. In the first year of life, when brain growth is most rapid, it’s especially important to support your baby’s movement, strength, posture, and balance, as these lay the foundation for their future development.

 

Milestones like rolling, crawling, and walking are perfect times for a check-up to ensure everything is progressing as it should.

​

Older children can benefit from regular check-ups as well. As their bodies grow, they face various physical challenges from falls, poor posture, or even sports activities.

 

Emotional stress can also show up as physical tension. That's why checking in on your child’s musculoskeletal health a few times a year—or as needed—can make a big difference in their well-being.
