Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 , does Dobbs prescribe stretching and if so, why? s. ----- You know I asked Dr.Ponseti about this b/c my previous dr. told us to do this, and he said no. But, then again is it Dr. Dobbs that does the stretching excercises? Or am I wrong? I thought there was even a file about this? Someone correct me if I am wrong. number23 wrote: Can't help but mention here that no where in the Ponseti Method does Dr. Ponseti suggest/recommend/advise stretching. So why are some parents being told to do so? s. Re: a sore? Good solution to the sore issue-that is one of our favorite techniques for healing the skin. With regards to stiffness, My doctor has us do stretches/massage when david has his free time. I feel this helped loosen his feet and stretch his muscles. His feet were stiff but once he got to be more active on them-they loosened up (he now is too loose-ha ha). Just a thought that some massage may be the way to go! kathleen > > > > My son got his casts off today and is in the shoes.
