Would this help a 12 yr old that was shaken at the age of 2 and has very little use of her left arm and can't grasp with that hand?

Terri - The best advice is to try it. Hopefully Susan Blum will see this and comment if she has any experience using it on that diagnosis. But again - the concept works for everyone (don't mistake that for it is the "cure all")and if she is found to have imbalances you should see improvement. Knowing how to look at her and seeing what works, and doing more of the good motions is key to helping. Call me if you would like a little more guidance 919 749 2106

Just was checking the message board and saw this note. Well about an hour ago I was editing a video clip of a 14 year old boy who was a Shaken Baby which I am preparing for the TMR 1 Pediatric seminar which is Oct 3 & 4.
This young man has wrist and elbow flexion contractures wrists, is blind, sits in a windswept position and is unable to communicate other than to occasional smiles and coo. Lately he has been doing a lot of crying and seems uncomfortable. After about 15 min of TMR he was able to sit better, rotate to the side about 50% more, relax his arms to flex his shoulders better and appeared to be more comfortable and smiling.
I don't know what to expect for the long term in terms of voluntary control - time will tell, but I am excited about the effects on range and positioning for starters. Who knows? As Tom says it's not a cure all, but some of the other children I see who have huge neuro issues have had better results than I've ever seen in the 25 yrs I've been treating children.
Prior to TMR physical therapy helped him decrease visits to the hospital for pneumonia by increasing mobility in his chest and made his sitting and transfers more comfortable. That was with mass quantities of nursing follow through with the previous exercises and hours of MFR to his pecs etc. How would you compare that to a brief visit with such dramatic results?
Some of my other clients have had improvement in spinal alignment and I'm hopeful that we can get this young man more symmetrical in his chair, less windswept and in danger of skin breakdown. The even better part was to have a delighted surprised look on his face as he was able to be assisted to gently rock side to side and explore a range unfamiliar to him. And the best part of all was to see a big smile!
Please feel free to call me if you'd like any more info.

Thank you so much for your input. This 12 year old is my granddaughter and she does have trouble with her balance in addition to little use of the left arm and grasping with that hand. I will pass this on and see if we can get some results. Thank you!

The title makes me want to love and hate this Gucci Store at the same time. It calls to mind Alexander McCall Smith's novel titled, "The Unbearable Lightness of Scones." I might not have thought to link Aimee Bender's new book with "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera had it not been for Smith's Scones nike dunk sb. That said, I would rather take a lemon from Aimee Bender over the lightest fluff from nike shox shoes and cheap air max McCall Smith. I don't know if this was a Michael Jordan Shoes and Cheap Jordans I would pick out myself in the store but I received it as my first Indiespensible uggs and ugg boots order. It was as wonderful book with humor, sadness, and a glimpse into the life of the Main Nike Air Jordan and her family. I love the easy flow of the Coach Purses and the ease with which I could identify with more than one of the Air Jordan Shoes. Definitely couldn't put the book down and have already recommended it to several MBT Shoes Sale.
