Tummy Time for Newborns

Tummy time is an excellent method to support your baby's strength . It is recommended by many manual therapist to treat plagiocephalism or torticollis.
From my experience and what I have seen in my practice, if the underlying restrictions are not released by an experienced manual therapist/osteopath, the results won't be as great and it is hard on the baby's body. Just imagine your sacrum (in the pelvis) has a restriction around one of the S.I. Joints and you are asked to do neck strengthening exercises. The pull that comes from below will always make it more difficult to do the exercises, and on top of it your body will figure out another way of compensation, to adapt to the exercises.

Thus, it is of utmost importance to release restrictions in any other system of the body, before you start working out. In this case, tummy time as a work out for babies.
