Re: Charlotte Cranial Tech office experience, HELP! -

[Guest guest]

,

Oh I understand tired and cranky. Yes, there are two Michele's.

Also, I remember , I think we saw her a couple of times. With

your mixed recommendations I would err on the side of caution and

continue working on the strengthening and stretching. I would add

extra emphasis to the strengthening part. Did Jaxson ever have PT?

If so I would spend 20 minutes a day doing " PT " type activites, i.e.

encouragin him to look over his shoulder, look up, reach for things

on the weak side, etc. It can't hurt. Also, talk to your ortho

about his fighting the stretches. They really did help us get a

couple more months of stretching.

Since you are not familiar with Charlotte let me suggest a great

place to eat. We used to go for lunch there every time - mmm good.

American menu. Kids aren't a problem. It's less than 3 miles (I

think actually less than 2). Open 11-9 on Fridays and it's not busy

for an early dinner. The skinless " fried " chicken is awesome.

Pike's Old Fashion Soda Shop

Address: 1930 Camden Rd, Charlotte, NC 28203

Phone: (704) 372-0092

Directions:

Turn right out of Cranial Tech garage

Turn left onto small side street (before light, there is a turn lane

for it)

Turn right at stop sign

Turn left onto S. Tryon

Where the road splits in a Y, take the left fork (this is at a light)

You should now be on Camden.

Go straight (through at least one stop sign and maybe a light at

East/West Rd)

This road (Camden) dead ends into Tremont. The diner is on the

right, right before the dead end. There is parking on the street.

Let me know how your next trip goes.
