Lowcountry Children's Therapy

Parents often ask therapists "What is w-sitting and is it a big deal"? W- sitting is when a child is seated on the floor on their knees with their ankles and feet splayed out to the sides behind them, rather than tucked underneath. Therapists often debate how serious an issue w-sitting really is for a child. In general, w-sitting is nothing to be overly concerned about if it is only observed every now and then and your child is seen sitting in other positions as well, includi...ng Indian style with the legs crossed in front. However if it is persistent there may be an underlying issue, such as core weakness or hip dysplasia. Here is a very good article highlighting some of the possible abnormal reasons a child may w-sit. If you notice your child sitting in the w-position and have concerns, contact our clinic today. We are happy to schedule a screening to help determine if therapy is recommended! https://www.healthline.com/health/baby/w-sitting
