Hypotonia is the medical term for having low muscle tone. Having hypotonia isn’t the same as having weak muscles, however, hypotonia can certainly impact endurance in daily life to function successfully across settings.
How therapy at Skills on the Hill can help your child
At Skills on the Hill, our pediatric therapists understand and know how to treat a variety of issues and delays impacted by hypotonia. Our therapists are movement specialists who are trained to help your child improve their fine motor skills, gain control over their gross motor skills, and strengthen their muscles over time.
When you bring your child in for an assessment, our therapists will review his or her medical history, and observe their muscle tone, overall motor skills, sensory skills, reflexes, balance, and more to create a plan of treatment to help their condition.
