[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these sports sounds like a lot for any 10 year old let alone one with low muscle tone. Why so many things at the same time? Don’t kids with low muscle tone get tired more quickly? I don’t think doing a bunch of sports is going to fix that.

Does your child work with a pediatric physical therapist? I would think someone like that is going to have better advice than random parents. If core strength is an issue I don’t think doing a bunch of sports is an automatic fix. Core strengthening requires learning how to be aware of which muscles you are using when, and doing specific exercises. You can do all sorts of sports and even be pretty good at them all the while not engaging your core muscles properly. PT is great for teaching awareness and exercises that can be done at home.

As a parent of multiple low tone children, not all low tone kids need to work with a PT. Many can simply get strong enough for daily functioning by doing sports. The ones which work whole body strength (swim, gymnastics, martial arts) are especially good.[/quote]
