W-Sitting Intervention

What It Is:

W-sitting is when a child sits with their legs in a W shape — knees forward, feet back and out to the sides.

Why It Matters:

This position can limit core activation and place strain on hips and knees — often used as a crutch for poor balance.

• Education and awareness for families

• Core and hip strengthening
