A therapu method developed in Great Britain was specifically designed to
"condition out pathological(old) reflexes. It is called the Bobath method.
Like most therapies for CP, it was designed to be used with young children.
Not sure how, or if, it works for adults.

I'm thinking there must be some kind of desensitization therapy or
sensory re-integration work available for CP adults.  I've never seen
anything about it.  The doctors don't know either. >>
