There are several issues going on here.  One is "can what we do help

him?" and another is the cost.



Since he's been going to PT for so long, I'm wondering what they've

done for him.  Usually traditional PT focuses on evaluation,

strengthening and movement, but not as much hands-on.  Has anyone

looked at birth trauma or neurological issues here (e.g. cerebral

palsy, torticollis, or something else)?  There's a Rolfer and

Chiropractor here in Oakland California that has a theory about long-

term shortness in various areas might be due to nerves being

"tethered" in the myofascia (Don Hazen's Neurology of Posture).  I've

had great success working on such things from this perspective but

your perspective client is very young for this.  Craniosacral might

also be helpful in the short term.  Mostly, I've had little luck

using Rolfing for this sort of client, but if the client can travel

to Russia, what's a trip to Oakland?



The cost is also an issue.  Most SI isn't covered by insurance and so

would have to be out of pocket.  That's a consideration that may

limit how much SI is explored for this little guy.

Dear Rob



I agree with Michael, and would just add:



The cavus foot and chronic tightness along the lines in the leg can

often have visceral connections, specifically with blood flow to the

affected leg.  So in addition to Don Hazen's work with adverse neural

tension, I would additionally have someone like Jeff Burch or Liz

Gaggini - well-versed in visceral manipulation - have a look at your

boy - especially since you say you can get changes with manual therapy

(as in Russia) but that they don't sustain.



Also, don't forget 'compound essence of time' - some of these

limitations may disappear as your boy gets in contact with other kids

at elementary school - nothing like competition to bring out the best

in young boys!



Good luck

Tom Myers

Thanks, all, for the feedback, I have sent along your replies to my

client (who is forwarding for a friend) and offered to give Jeff

Burch's info if desired. I wasn't specifically being asked to help,

just to answer whether this work would be appropriate. We shall see!

Bevin,



It doesnąt sound like youąve tried any work with the boy and the outcome; my

first thought would be to draw on your own resources.  Subsequent to that,

trying other local practitioners and sampling the nerve work Michael

mentions would certainly be preferable to flying laps to Russia.

Has anyone done a first session?

That would tell a lot.

Do you know anything about developmental movement therapy? My son saw a

practitioner in Seattle. Naturally, I can't remember her name, but there is a

ton of information online. Good stuff. Brenda

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

I have seen some remarkable results with cranial adjustments done  via a

trained Osteopath or Chiropractor.  Upledger does not get into the  children

as well as some.  Dr. Carole Phillips can be reached via

_www.newdawnpublishing.com_ (http://www.newdawnpublishing.com)  .  I  was

trained by her and

have some remarkable results with infant torticollis and  ear infections.  The

idea is that the brain is being altered by pressures  in the skull and these

presssures need to be released, very, very gently by  someone who is fully

trained in the anatomy of the area.  The assumption is  that the brain,

nervous system is responding to pressure in directing the  muscles to do what

they are doing.   Muscles are merely switches  wrapped in connective tissues.

Switches only do what they are directed to  do....I would seek out someone

who could understand that  approach.

Thanks, everyone, for all of the great insight. I have forwarded all

pertinent information to my client, who I assume is forwarding to her

friend. Hopefully this kid will get some new kind of intervention to

help him out. Best, Bevin
