Hi Dina,
    Thanks for answering about the scoliosis issue. I'm feeling defeated as a
parent and we have talked before so I just wanted to hear some words of
wisdom. My son, age 8, was scissoring so bad that he was falling constantly
on level surfaces. Dr. Nuzzo did bilateral hamstring releases and adductors
in June. Now he's not falling anymore, but he's walking with his back arched
tremendously and he is hyperextending his left leg. The P.T. and ortho doc
told he is hip flexors are tight and he is afraid of falling so he throws his
left leg back for support because his trunk is weak. Well this weak trunk is
what contributed to the W sitting that we couldn't break him of and the tight
hamstrings, etc. No matter how much therapy and exercising we failed. My son
is restarting therapetic horseback riding again next month. And he is always
in swimming, but where does one find the ROLFING and FELDENKRAIS? We're also
looking at treadmills as my son walks straighter on them because he holds
onto the bars and doesn't fear balance from truck. Currently, we are working
on strengthing with P.T. three times a week. Would an exercise bike or
treadmill be better? Please pray for Nate as I refuse to undergo another
surgery! I know if he keeps walking this way, scoliosis issues will become
prevalent. I'm just realizing there is no cure; new issues continuely arise.
