Symmetrical Movements

This is our brains ability to use both hands or both feet (or our right arm and leg or our left arm and leg) to do something - think of jumping jacks, dribbling a ball with two hands, or jumping down from a step with both feet. PT helps make sure we can use both sides or both arms or both feet at the same time. If you can't do it at the same time, it might because the sides of our brain aren't talking to each other like they should or it could be that one side is stronger than the other.
