Range of Motion

A fun way to teach and encourage children to stretch out their bodies to promote:

  • Increased range of motion. This refers to the amount of movement available at a joint. Students with muscle tightness or decreased range of motion may find it difficult to maintain the same positions or move through their environment as efficiently as those with typical range of motion. 
  • Improved flexibility for optimal postural alignment, independent transitions, and age appropriate motor play. Muscle tightness may occur as a result of hypertonicity (high muscle tone) or as a result of frequent positioning of a muscle in a shortened length (ie. tight hip rotation often seen in children who W-sit or tight calf muscles seen in those who toe-walk).
