The importance of tummy time. Anybody who‘s had babies knows about tummy time, how it helps build essential muscle strength and flexibility in babies. Babies don’t like it at first, they need to learn it. What isn’t taught though is how important tummy time is throughout your life, as an adult too. All of us spend a lot of time sitting. That strengthens and shortens particular combinations of muscles, leading us to get ’bad backs’ and hips, sore necks and shoulders etc. Incredibly tight muscles in those areas. It’s tummy time that self-corrects a lot of that, re-balancing your overall flexibility and strength and removing that tightness and tension.
