Bevin, I think my post was poorly worded. Your client may find development
movement therapy helpful. There may be some movement patterns that can help the
neurology that is affecting causing the muscular dysfunction. And I remember the
name of the practitoner I took my son to in Seattle. Betty Herman. She used to
be in the Greenwood area.



Like I said, there is a lot of information online about these types of
therapies. Good luck. Brenda
