Hi Peter,
Too much time in therapy is why I usually tell parents to invest in
hippohtherapy (therapy on horseback), or aquatherapy swimming. Basically
get into an exercise program that is fun and exciting for the child. When
we had cp camp we put kids in all sorts of assistive technology and then
gave them skates, skate boards, bicycling, etc. Move it or lose it but,
don't over do it and leave lots of time for socializing and having fun.

Of course, every kid is different....
For our daughter, we have been told to do 2 hours of weight bearing (eg.
stander) a day, 30 min of walker a day (very hard to get in), 30 min of leg
stretches a day, (as well as normal PT and OT and ST).
Pretty much impossible to do all of this, but it does seem that the more PT
we do, the better off she is and the less pain she has.
