Oakley is once again absolutely smashing his daily 3 x 55min sessions, 5 days pw. Its hard to believe it’s only been 6 months since his first NAPA intensive September 2024 , but there’s been a hell of a lot to do in that time. Ofcourse our boy is older and bigger, soon to be 4 years old. With three new physios to Oakley and 1 returner, he embarked on this intensive physio block from a new heightened base level of strength, mobility and skill through the work done at home daily and with his once to twice per week home physio with specialist Faye.
If you’ve ever been on a training camp, the analogy is real… Or imagine a hard workout you do then x 3 per day and push every day… All while continually learning new movement skill. Neuro-plasticity is inherent in DMI practice, a type of physiotherapy. SMA kids and many others with various conditions need to build new neural pathways from scratch, in a way which we take for granted and do from the womb and from birth.
We are so grateful for those bits of funding that went towards this camp covered mostly by family. Thank you. And the words of support, encouragement and acknowledgement mean a lot.
