Does your child throw backwards into extension?

If your child throws themselves backward when sitting—it might not just be a strength or behavior issue. 😟 It could be sensory, reflexive, or a nervous system stuck in overdrive.

That was the case for this sweet 🫛. When he lost his chin tuck, his whole body extended—making it impossible to sit safely. It wasn’t until we combined PT and OT that we broke this pattern in just two weeks.

At AKAP, PT addressed strength and stability, while OT focused on regulating his nervous system through rhythmic, linear, and predictable input. That calming effect gave him the foundation he needed to sit more securely and reach toward higher-level motor goals.

Together we worked on:
* Reflex Integration
* Deep Core Activation
* Chin Tuck + Midline Stability
* Sensory Regulation

Our OT intensive program is the first of its kind—combining rebound therapy, astronaut training, and sensory integration in a daily model that accelerates progress. And the best part? OT visits cost less because we want everyone to be able to combine the two therapies.
