"Welcome 2 years old twins"

I got an inquiry about her 2 years old daughter.

"We had two episodes in the past six months that suggest my daughter's right hip joint might get dislocated. She didn't seem to be in pain, and when I held her hand and supported her while walking, it naturally went back into place. When we consulted with a pediatrician about it, we were told, "You can't tell unless we see it when it's dislocated. Children's hip joints are immature and get dislocated easily, so you just have to observe her developement progress, and if it keeps happening, you should go to an orthopedic surgeon."

For the past three months, she has been running and jumping without any problems, but I noticed that her walking seems to have her legs turned inwards, and I'm concerned about her unique running posture."

Since no birth trauma, we decided to take a look at her to see if she has a left-right imbalance or a habitual posture developed.

The person I met with was one of her twin girls.

We compared the movements of the two girls stacking and straddling yoga blocks, and then I touched the fascia structure from the soles of feet to below the knees.

Comparing the each foot (among four legs), each one already has its own personality! I found out that the right foot that seemed to have come off was more functional, but on the left foot, which was stiffer and smaller, more weight on the left hip joint to the knee.

"Bow legs at this age are not concerning but normal, so let's make sure that both legs can support the pelvis from both sides like a Meganebashi bridge（arched bridge）"

While the child sat down and played with both hands, I aligned the superficial fascia from the spine of the back to the hip joint toward the center.

(After that, we will observe how the movement changes over the next few hours to a few days.

The flexible structure of a small child will be strengthened and grow by experiencing the direction and speed of movement through play.)

The mother contacted me two days later. ❤️

"Thank you for the other day! As a change since then, it seems that the soles of the feet are now more firmly ground when running, whereas before she used to run with a bounce. She seemed to enjoy the session, saying, 'I went to meet Sato-san. It felt good.'"
