Movement is not something the develops spontaneously in the vertical posture, because life begins lying on our backs or our bellies.  While in the womb a fetus is in a fluid filled, environment, absent of gravity.  Gravity creates the challenge for the infant to move from back and belly lying, to lying with elbow support, lying with hand support, through to side lying, crawling, creeping, and eventually free two foot walking.  The ability to rise against gravity requires global muscular actions and interactions, that differ from those that occur in the fluid filled womb.  Understanding these global muscle plays, including their anatomic and functional chains, helps us identify the movement deficiencies that have occurred during a child’s development.  It is through the application of Reflex Locomotion/Vojta Therapy that we can restore muscular synergy to idealize movement.
