Hi, I am a parent of a 15 year old son with CP. We have been going to Poland for an intensive PT program. I wanted to get this information out to as many interested parents and care givers I can find. Please pass the information along if you know of anyone interested!!! Thanks! I am a parent of a child with cerebral palsy. My son has experienced physical therapy, occupational therapy, hippo therapy, cranial sacral therapy, aqua therapy, accupunture, massage therapy, and a home program which consisting of 60 volunteers coming in and out of my house every hour (just to name a few)! Around the age of six his progressed slowed and he experienced little improvement for many years. At the age of eleven I discovered an intensive physical therapy program in Poland. After 28 days my son showed the first signs of true balance and could weight exchange from the left foot to the right. This may seem like small potatoes to the average person but as you know dealing with individuals with CP, this was a milestone!! We had been working on this goal for 5 years! Trip two Cody was taking his first steps, speech was improved, and was showing new balance and coordination of his very spastic body. Wow, the third trip was even better, my son gained gross motor skills of his arms and I received my first hug! A child whom has never used his arms before in his life, gained this ability after trying all these other therapies. As you know, each child and brain injury is different. I am not saying this program will "fix" every child. I just want the opportunity to give parents the knowledge such a program exists. Euromed will be coming to Southern Florida to present a free conference on their program. Everyone is welcome, PTs, OT's, physicians, families, etc.!! Please call or email if you would like additional flyers or if you can help me in any way. Thank You, Lynette LaScala (Cody's Mom) EUROMED REHABILITATION CENTER FLORIDA CONFERENCE!!!
