Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Yes, Deb, very helpful!!! I was worried because I had asked my neurologist for PT in the past and he did not think it would help (I've had PT on a few occasions in the past). I want to try OT or anything that may be beneficial, As long as it won't hurt, I think it's worth a shot. Do you mind if I print your response for my neurologist to see just in case he vetoes it? Thanks again. Peace, Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Marti; My experience is as follows: I fell last winter and lit square on an elbow, after much screwing around by my " Vet " , he finally ordered an MRI, seems that good old tennis elbow was rearing its ugly head, on top of carpal tunnel, CMT and who knows what else. I couldn't hold a pencil in my left hand! He ordered some PT, the therapist wanted to do some topical steroid applications, I said NO WAY just do utltrasound and the OT. In just 10 sessions I gained much strength (have more strength than the right side and I'm right handed). Like you, I'm a big active guy, who used to grab people and make the wax come out of their ears! Those days are over but I'm still working and have little or no wasting in my hands. Just be sure the therapist knows not to overdo it and I think you will reap some benefit. Jim Nash in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I hate to keep bothering you, but I have another question. Does Bobby recieve OT at school and if so do you get a report of those sessions? The reason I am asking is because I would like to ask the school OT for her notes from all his sessions. Do I have the right to see them? I think I know the answer is yes but I am not sure. Thanks - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 When my son was 2 & 3 yrs old (he is now 7almost 8). I attended many night time sessions for parents and professionals (floor time, school planning, large motor skills. Areas to help me at home, since I was getting know where w/pediatricians & other professionals who didn't hear my pleas.) I was very impressed w/their staff, and equipment. I also heard alot of praise from parents that had used their OT services as well. (From severe cases, to twins!) We ended up useing the CCF Childrens REHAB for eating & hypersensitivity issues (which just just now finished paying out of pocket this month!!) Hope this helps a little. Definelty 1)get on their website and get on their mailing list. 2)check out some classes 3) visit location 4)ask for referrals. Good Luck to your family. katrine822 <cate127@...> wrote: Does anyone use or has anyone used Barrie Galvin up in Beachwood? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks!Cate Shape in your own image.
