Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- TMR or Total Motion Release is a technique that was created by Tom Dalonzo-Baker and modified for pediatrics by Susan Blum. The total motion release technique demonstrated in this video is for an upright positional release of the upper trunk and lower trunk. This TMR or Total Motion Release Technique is often utilized in children who struggle with crawling or have a medical diagnosis of Torticollis or Plagiocephaly.
Please note: this technique should only be utilized in conjunction with a Physical Therapy plan of care or under the direct supervision of a physical therapist.

I would love more videos about TMR techniques! I'm taking level 1, these videos are helpful
For anyone looking for all the TMR videos in one place, here is the TMR playlist! czcams.com/play/PLxYt0JBWx03TxJKI4UNyEYImYnhsdq96g.html
This actually helped my kiddo with gas as well she was tooting up a storm while doing this!
KingKingKing000, Thanks so much for the comment -- you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. The pelvis has SO MUCH to do with GI motility (movement of food through the belly) as well as relaxing the pelvic muscles (we all have them, even babes!) that you may find this helpful in releasing gas, relaxing the nervous system, and relaxing the pelvic floor enough to decrease any tension there and/or helping food move through the system a little more efficiently! I know lots of parents are going to see this comment and give this technique a try simply because you took the time to share your win, so THANK YOU!! Lauren
Hi! Awesome video, my son has a right side torticollis and I’m unsure which side rotation needs to be done. I’m in Australia and can’t find any therapist that has the TMR training to help us. Thanks in advance
Hi Helene! There’s a few options: you can always book an online parent consultation and we can try to figure it out together with a quick screen in multiple directions. I am in the US but have a few parents in Australia that have found those extremely helpful. You can book that online here: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service (if you need a different time due to time change email me info@drlaurenbaker.com and we can figure something out!).
The other option is to do both directions and test each to see which direction is easier. With R Torticollis typically a child would prefer L rotation of the neck, which can continue down into the upper trunk (but not always). I would try L arm under armpits first and then switch to R arm under armpits and see if one feels easier and then hold the easy one consistently for 2-5 min for the next week and see if it helps. With the TMR technique you ONLY do one side (the easy side) so that’s the big difference.
@@DrLaurenBaker Thank you so much for your response. I actually found someone north Queensland and I will try to see if she knows anyone closer to Sydney but if I can't find one in person I'll be sure to reach out to you! Thanks again
Oh yay! I’m so glad. Thanks for the update, I know the TMR list isn’t the best organized but glad you found someone. I’ll keep you in the loop if I hear of anyone in Sydney.
@@DrLaurenBaker Hello, I have a question: why do we do on the easy side, if it is the other side that the baby has difficulty?
@@liviamoraes1272 this is a different style of increasing mobility than traditional stretching. Traditional stretching increases length by pulling on muscle fibers to lengthen them and this is basically the opposite- increasing mobility by shortening the fibers, allowing them to neurologically relax, thus increasing range. Its great for babies because they cannot relax through the stretch feeling and often tense up making stretching less effective.
Technically one could do this position using traditional stretching principles but I have found it to be much less effective than using the strain counterstrain or TMR framework.
Can you tell me any book which gives literature about total motion release in pediatric population?
Hi Prakshi! My newest book tummy time and learning to roll covers a few positional releases and talks about TMR if your little is 0-6 months and can be found here: amzn.to/3Rn5PHI
This book also talks about TMR but I havent had the chance to read it myself yet. Another subscriber did share it with me though and it has good reviews: amzn.to/41b989n
The other way to learn TMR is using the parent/student rate on the level 1 course taught by the creator of TMR for kids Susan Blum, which you could register for here: www.tmrtots.com/
Hopefully this gives you a few places to start. There is also a TMR playlist and you can learn how to screen most movements in any of my free online courses: www.drlaurenbaker.com/courses

It seems counterintuitive to me.. like if they can stretch well on one side, I want to stretch their body even further on the side they’re already good at stretching??? Seems like I should be stretching the tight side instead🤔 if it’s being done gently I don’t get how it could cause micro damage🤔
(I just noticed you kinda answered this in another comment reply tho👌)
Hi Fabius! It IS counterintuitive, it is another route to improve mobility but I totally get why it is confusing. Its an osteopathic method that is the opposite of traditional stretching. I have a few other videos using this method that are on the channel if you go to the playlist and find tmr or total motion release, this will help fill in the gaps with more explanation of this style of mobility, since its new to you.
I would recommend trying it out, if you do the opposite you’re not doing anything wrong, its just traditional stretching vs TMR release. I find that the TMR style has quicker results than traditional stretching but I dont villianize traditional stretching because I use it in other styles like the front of the neck. But I like TMR a ton for the trunk and use it almost exclusively.
The microdamage can come from stretching the muscle fibers against tension or resistance, its again not bad but just a different style of gaining motion that can be less effective in infants because they do not know their body is safe when you tension it like adults do, this can decrease effectiveness. Again, either way is fine, theyre just using different frameworks to get to the same end goal. Choose which style works best for you, if youre not getting the results you want you can try the alternate option and see if that is better. Good luck.
