What is a wheel barrel walk? Is there any publication that describe this type of therapy?

It is where the therapist would hold the feet and make the child walk on their hands.

it is when you hold the childs legs (or hips) and they walk (or weightbear)on their hands. At least this is what I think it is!

Yep..we were told to do this with Sarah to make her shoulders stronger. Some on here said that it is a big no-no for their child. It depends on the child so be careful.

it's actually wheelBARROW - like the yard wagon. the exercise simulates what you do with an actual wheelbarrow.
