One fun game to play with a PhysioBall
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try lying kids on a physiotherapy ball on their tummies. Encourage them to reach up, perhaps to remove magnets from the refrigerator door. Neck, back, stomach, and arm muscles are all strengthened. This is a great exercise for children with low muscle tone!

PLAY Tip
Stair Masters!
Gooo-ing up!
Always teach going up before teaching coming down. It is easier to master, safer, and will build skills needed for safe going down. Stay right behind them the entire time. It's for safety, but also many children find a light touch comforting and encouraging.
