If you have a loved one with Down syndrome, you’ve probably heard about low muscle tone, gross motor skills, physical therapy, and more.. but what does it all mean!? Do all children with DS need physical therapy? When do we start? When do we stop? So many questions! That’s why we are so grateful to be joined by Dr. Emily Heisey, a pediatric physical therapist, and the owner of kinesiokids.com! She has over 10 years of experience and is dedicated to helping little ones reach their full potential.

We’re chatting about the importance of starting PT early, how often your child might need PT, and how to build even just 20 minutes of exercise time into your child’s daily routine! And maybe most importantly, we’re discussing how adorable babies with DS are when exploring those fun PT gyms and equipment! You’ll want to take notes on this one.
