I get to work on my strength, walk on the treadmill and use the spider to help me make the most of my operation. I have so much fun being in the warm water - it's easier to balance in the water so I'm more confident and it gives me a resistance to push against so I get stronger. Find out more about Walkaide, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), SES and Mollii Suit Therapy.
I wear my Mollii suit for 1 hour, sometimes before therapy so that my muscles are ready to work and play. I wear a mitt or cast on my stronger hand so that I can strengthen the muscles and improve the use of my weaker hand. KPW is a team of fun and dedicated physiotherapists specialising in improving movement and function for children and young people between the ages of 0 to 18.
Our approach is centred around a progressive strengthening programme which focuses on improving core strength, stability and movement opportunities. We work by providing a very active, hands-on treatment approach to improve strength and movement, working towards functional goals.

I had an operation to help my legs move easier.
Now that the muscles aren't getting such confused messages from my nerves it means that my body feels looser.
I can now start to strengthen my body and learn how to move in a way that's going to help me to be more independent and active.
KPW help me with the strength, the confidence and the practise needed to achieve my movement goals.
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy is a treatment for spasticity which reduces/eliminates spasticity by cutting selected sensory fibres in the spinal cord.

I find it difficult to walk on my own but when I walk on the treadmill its much easier.
The treadmill goes slow and my physio can help me with placing my feet.
I don't have to worry about bumping into things moving around me.
I can also use the spider to make sure I don't fall and stand tall.
The physio can make it harder or easier to suit my need and progress me as I get stronger and need less help.

Sometimes my legs and arms feel very tight and I can find it hard to move them.
However when I wear my special Mollii suit for an hour my muscles feel looser and I am able to move with much more freedom.
When wearing the suit I hardly feel anything at all and the best bit is when I have the suit on I am able to sit with mummy and read a book or even play with my favourite toy!
The suit goes over my whole body and there is a special power pack on the front of it which provides the electricity which help my muscles to relax.

I really struggle to use my affected hand so my other more able hands helps out lots.
The only problem is that my affected hand misses out on practise opportunities so struggles to improve.
CIMT helps by stopping me from using my less affected side, by keeping it away in a mitt or cast.
This means I can have extra practise of activities on my side that is less able.
It's hard work and mostly we work intensively but all the effort pays off as I get more strength, movement and function after my therapy.
