This video is what led us to seek out physical therapy for Hailey. It’s sad to see your child try so hard to ride her bike, but struggle the whole time. When we started PT I had no idea what to expect. I couldn’t really imagine that they would do anything that I couldn’t do at home. You know what? They haven’t done much that I can’t do at home but, the PT has been able to get Hailey to do things that I struggle to get her to do. Also the PT has pin pointed problem areas, and has told us exactly what we can do to work on strengthening those specific areas.
Some PT’s want to do everything at their office so that they can supervise, this would have put us going to PT 3 times a week based on Hailey’s needs. But we were so blessed to get a PT that gave us the option on Parent training, so that I can do most of the exercises at home, and just see her every 2 weeks. That has worked out so great for us.
In the time that we have been working on Hailey’s targeted areas I have seen her do things I never thought possible. The other day at the park she climbed up the climbing wall. and she walked a 3k on Saturday. We are still having problems with endurance, but all in all she is making great strides. We should have sought this out a long time ago.
