I’m a pediatric COTA and I recently found the Harkla channel and I absolutely love it! So much great content
I thought I was the only one in this world who does this.. i felt isolated, because I W-sit a lot. I’ve done this all my life, and we STILL haven’t found a dang to correct this dang habit! I think this might explain why I have sporadic pains in my right knee and hip. I feel so mad at myself that I still do this!
No need to feel mad! It might be helpful to see a professional, possibly a PT (physical therapist) to address the pain!
@@HarklaFamily that’s a good idea. I don’t know of any physical therapists around here in my area.
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
