Jewel and her O/T Crystal had a great session today! We used a mirror in our session which usually helps Jewel see what good body posture looks like, plus she enjoys looking at herself :)
Crystal showed me how diagonal movements break the tone and aid with functional movement.
How to suppress certain neuropathways and activate others is going to be our quest to overcome her tone/ spasticity.
I called her doctor at Shriners Children's hospital and he was most supportive of my inquiries about what "they" currently use to treat tone.
We talked about baclofen, clinical marijuana, valium, and how these drugs are not effective in management of spasticity. I talked about how I wanted to use "alternative" way to intervene, like acupuncture, holistic, homeopathic, and that I would be looking in to these.
I look forward to finding something more natural that will help Jewel make more gains! 3/4/11
