#23 Sitting Propping on a Bench in Front: Exercises for a Child with Cerebral Palsy

Meet Sebastian. He is a young boy with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. His family wants to help me share treatment suggestions to help children like him across the world. My clinic, Child and Family Development, in Charlotte, NC, allowed me to use their facilities and their equipment to showcase Sebastian's skill and charming personality. We review techniques to reduce stiffness, encourage strength and control. I think you'll love spending time with him. Thank you to this family and my clinic for allowing this to happen.
I also have available 3 children's educational books, "A is for Autism," "D is for Down Syndrome," "C is for Cerebral Palsy," and now 2 professional books "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips", and "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Knees" available on Amazon. I have forthcoming "A is for ADHD" as well. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at [e-mail]. Please note: I am unable to provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.
I am so honored to have people from all over the world watch my videos. I have reviewed and corrected the closed captions for this video so that you might understand what I am saying even if you don't speak English. I hope the directions below are helpful to you.

Hello. Great job. Shout out to your beautiful Assistant! My baby is 1year 10months and has hyper extension of his neck too. Moreover, he can no longer sit or stand on his own (he lost all to infantile spasms). Can you make videos on exercises for a baby within that age group? Thank you

[@pediatricPTexercises]

I would love to. The problem is is I am not allowed to video anybody that is seen at my practice. I have to find people from outside of my work. That is hard.

[@LnFdays]

@@pediatricPTexercises wow. I'd willingly allow you to use my son for this educative videos, knowing how much it would help a lot of people too. Unfortunately we ain't in the same country. That's too bad. Still, thank you for educating us.

@@LnFdays Hopefully I will find someone

[@shreyak1650]

your video's are amazing. Can you make a video on scoliosis and post surgical scoliosis... Thank you

[@pediatricPTexercises]

Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I do not have a child accessible to me that I can do videos about scoliosis and post surgical scoliosis. I will consider how I might incorporate that in my videos in the future though. Thank you for your suggestions.

I have seen so many active exercises but are not useful for me

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a website or therapist that can help you.
