Thank you so much Barbara...

Dr. Yngve in Texas went to Dr Nuzzo for his training...
We actually scheduled an appointment for Dr Yngve theappt is Dec 22
YEAH...We know a little girl 7 yrs old who had the surgery in for her
hamstrings groin and calf and heel cords just about 2 months ago...and
her mom is soooo beyond pleased at this point...they had planned on
having the tendon lengthening surgery in January but went with this
after the PT suggested it....and she is so glad she went with PERCS
over the other....her daughter looks awesome...legs no longer
scissoring and in a perfect position when long sitting just awesome
changes already!

I am excited about the possibilities of the changes in Cayden with
PERCS it will be awesome for her to have straight legs and to not be
scissored all the time and to sleep in a position other than a
scissored fetal position...straight legs would be awesome...and the
possibility of increased strength along with the decreases tone will
be great!!!
