I agree. My son has hypotonia, and his OT and neurologist both suggested that he build up muscle strength, to help compensate for his low tone. Strength and tone are not the same thing.

Aculady -- what type of therapies can be used to improve muscle tone? Most of the OT I have done with my son is for improving motor skills and co-ordination. I didn't think there was much to be done to improve hypotonia itself, but would love to hear otherwise.

Also, about fidgeting, my low-tone son does wiggle around alot, and I see it as related to the hypotonia. He is often readjusting his posture, leaning on things, and pushing his feet against walls, etc. He also talks alot, but that's a different story!!
