These two have beening working hard and stretching together for a LONG time!!

Top: Tessa and Ms. Melody standing in 2011 and 2015
Bottom: Tessa and Ms. Melody left side sitting in 2013 and 2015

I snapped some super cute pictures of Tessa working so hard at her physical therapy session 
with Ms. Melody on Friday 7.17.15






not so sure about the slide experience ;)

trying again...and trusting Ms. Melody it will be fun the 2nd time around!


much more excited about the trampoline!!


During Tessa's appointment this last Friday, I took some pictures of each of her stretches to help me make an example document for school!

It was super fun to catch Ms. Melody and Tessa in action!

Left Hamstring Stretch

Right Hamstring Stretch

 Adductor Stretch

Chest Expansion – for deep breathing instead of just belly breathing – 
stretch rib cage down and belly in for chest expansion


 External Rotations – turn knees out to stretch internal rotators at the hips

Quadruped – weight bearing on elbows and knees 
(would like to see neck extension as well, see next pic)

Head propping to encourage neck extension during Quadruped position

Tall Kneeling

Left Side Sitting with propping on elbow

 Right Side Sitting with propping on elbow

 Tummy Time
(would benefit with something rolled up under her arms to help with head control)

Standing

Beautiful Standing :)

Proper Carrying Position

These two....so much love!
