Bike & Balance
Balance and Bike is a 4-week pediatric PT class for children ages 7 and older who are developmentally appropriate for training wheels and motivated to learn two-wheel riding.
The class focuses on improving balance, core control, and bike-riding skills through activities that mimic weight shifting and steering. Therapeutic balls, incline/decline surfaces, and rhythmic movements are used to provide progressively challenging balance activities while encouraging postural reactions and coordination. Parents will be given instruction on how to assist their child in mastering the skill of independently riding a bike and strategies to continue practicing safely at home. Parents should plan on bringing comfortable shoes and be ready to run.
Children bring their own bikes with training wheels. Sessions include mounting, dismounting, walking alongside the bike, turning, braking, and safe falling practice on soft mats. Proper bike fit is emphasized, with the child able to sit on the bike with both feet flat on the floor to improve confidence and reduce fear. Training wheels are gradually raised and eventually removed as skills improve!
This class is ideal for children 7 years old and up!
