Introducing My Online Course:
Tummy Time with a PT
The Modules: Exactly What We Will Cover
Module 1: Introduction
Learn about tummy time timings and what to expect from this course.
Module 2: Pre-Tummy Time Stretches
We don't just plop your baby on their belly and hope for the best. You will learn a sequence of 12 gentle stretches designed to ease body tension and unlock the exact mobility your baby needs to lift their head comfortably and enjoy floor play without the struggle.
Module 3:Eye Tracking & Reaching
Before a baby ever rolls their body, they roll their eyes. Visual tracking is actually your baby’s very first experience with rotational movement, serving as the neurological foundation for total-body mobility and communication. Practicing eye tracking before tummy time centers their nervous system and primes them for floor play.
Module 4: Rolling Facilitation
Learn how to guide your baby through their very first transitional movement. You’ll discover how rolling unlocks full-body mobility, teaches essential weight shifting, and gives your baby the ultimate "escape route" to turn over independently when they need a break.
Module 5: Correct Tummy Time Posture
When it comes to tummy time, positioning is everything. If a baby’s alignment is off, floor play becomes significantly more exhausting and frustrating. In this module, we break down what correct tummy time posture looks like, how to prevent asymmetry, and how to help your baby transition from their elbows to extended arms.
Module 6: Supporting Your Baby's Head During Tummy Time
Holding that heavy head up against gravity is the ultimate workout for a young baby. When their neck muscles fatigue, they often give up and face-plant into the floor. In this module, you will learn the hands-on pediatric PT handling technique designed to give your baby the exact touch of support they need to sustain tummy time without the struggle.
Module 7: Facilitating Play During Tummy Time
You will walk away knowing exactly how to physically support your baby during play so they can enjoy their toys today while building the strength to play completely independently tomorrow.
Module 8: Facilitating Play During Tummy Time
Endurance is built on positive repetition, not exhaustion. By spreading sessions throughout the day and mixing active toy tracking with strategic propped breaks, you help your baby build real physical stamina completely tear-free.
Module 9: Tummy Time on the Exercise Ball
For babies 3 months and up who resist the floor, the combination of reduced gravity, motion, and direct face-to-face contact with you makes floor play feel like a fun, interactive game rather than a chore.
Module 10: Course Wrap-Up
If your baby starts to fuss, you don't have to give up, you just need to pivot! Use these pediatric PT-approved strategies to troubleshoot the tears and turn things around.1 LessonCourse Wrap-Up
