My 25+ years of experience inpediatricphysical therapy practice is yours! This app featuresanimatedphotos and “how to” tips to strengthen children’sabdominals. With62 ab exercises, this app is a life saver for PTs,physical therapyassistants, instructors, caregivers and parents.This Abdominalsapplication is simply the first muscle group that wetargeted, with18 more muscle groups upcoming in the future. Newphysicaltherapists will love ideas to assist in treatmentsessionpreparation, planning, and programming. More experiencedphysicaltherapists will have at their finger tips a wide range ofideas fortreatment of abdominals to add more variety in theirtreatmentsessions. These are all exercises I know well, but even Iget stuckin a rut performing the same exercises over and over. Iwill usethis app as well to remind me of exercise options. Thisapplicationhas 10 free abdominal strengthening exercises. Over 50moreexercises are unlockable with an in-app purchase or byinteractingwith advertisements. I am committed to making thisinformationavailable to anyone regardless of income.

This application targets abdominals which are critical forspeechand occupational therapy as well. Speech and Occupationaltherapistsalike will find ideas for strengthening to help maximizeprogresstoward goals with their clientele. Educators will finallyhave atool with detailed pictures and commentary to give theirstudents afoundation for pediatric treatment. In the past so muchhas beenavailable for evaluation, but frustratingly little fortreatment!Physical therapists in third world countries can nowhave at theirfinger tips exercise recommendations without theexpense of distanttraining courses. I believe this app will changethe quality ofphysical therapy across the world.

This application was developed by a pediatric physicaltherapist.Nothing can replace the skills of a pediatric physicaltherapist whocan train caregivers and parents to perform theseexercises safelyand appropriately with a child with his or her ownindividualstrengths, weaknesses and motivation. This applicationwas meant toassist physical therapists, not negate the need forthem.

In order to facilitate easy home programming, favoriteexercisescan be starred with treatment programming specified. Thisfeaturewill enable the clinician to add frequency, repetitions,number ofsets, duration, weight resistance and notes to homeprograms withparents who have downloaded the app. I providecommentary with eachexercise explaining, for example, tips on howto make the exercisemore successful, how to make the exerciseeasier or morechallenging, and the type of client with whom I oftenuse thespecified exercise. Why wait for 25 years of clinicalexperience,when you can have my suggestions now?
