Rocking to Rolling

Rolling to rocking, kicking to crawling unfolds in the order it does to keep time with the stages of development. As the perceptual field of the infant expands, the innate desire to explore the world drives the movements to do so. The way these movements express - their symmetry, their sequence, their coordination - reflects the way the central nervous system is able to adapt to the environment. Supporting this coordination between the brain and body is the primary aim of chiropractic care.

The cross-crawl pattern of hands and knees alternating in sync is the foundation for walking. This pattern weaves the circuitry between both sides of the brain, which is essential for walking, but also the capacity to dialogue. That is, to converse with, investigate, be curious about, and begin to shape the world we inhabit.
