Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Janet My son has a physical therapist that comes to the house 1 to 2 times a month. Devyn has Scoliosis and Chiari malformation. We work mainly on strengthening his right leg and foot. When he walks the foot turns in pigeon toed and he uses his left leg to hold all the weight. They have also found he is very flat footed so they are trying to get him orthotics. When he was in his cast we worked on his trunk muscles along with his leg. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 My son Finn has been in Physical Therapy since he was around 8 weeks old. He has torticollis and he is still in PT twice a week. Finn is now 21 months old. janet wrote: How many of you have your children in Physical Therapy?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Janet, My son , in cast at 18 months, has PT twice a week. His feet are pronated and flat. His right leg (right-sided scoliosis) seems weaker, seems longer, and so he pulls it along. We are working on core exercises/trunk control, sitting to stand, walking (trying different walkers), have orthotics, and a lift under his left foot. He may have some weakness from his hx of chemotherapy, but we're primarily working with the scoliosis, kyphosis, and casting. Best > > > > How many of you have your children in Physical Therapy?
