Hi Nancy,
unfortunately I nolonger have the newspaper article as I
read it at my aunt`s house so I can`t email it to you. I
think the ballet helps to strenghthen the muscles around
the hip which makes it more stable.
We are half way though Sophie`s treatment and can`t wait
to get the plaster off. It is good to know that your
daughter is doing so well after all she has been though.
Best wishes
Leanne
