The Importance of Head Balance

Balancing your head is the first step to moving well. A newborn’s head can be up to a third of their body weight, and yet by one month old they’re already starting to lift it! A two-year-old has almost the same size head they’ll have as an adult, on a much smaller body.

If babies can balance a big heavy head on a little body, you can balance yours too! One simple way to find your head balance is to let go of neck tension, allowing your head to move more freely. This is how you start to Move Like Your Baby.
