Core strength or postural control is the foundation and the anchor of everything we do and building it begins during infancy. If a child does not have a strong core, it can effect head position, shoulder position, elbow position, wrist position, and finger position.
Everything within the body works proximal to distal, proximal meaning the nearest point of attachment to a limb or structure. Distal meaning furthest from attachment origin. In other words, from your core out.
When a child has poor core strength it will reflect in everyday tasks such as fine motor
skills such as handwriting and gross motor skills such as participating in school sports.
So now you may wonder “does my child have weakened core strength?”
