After a little while of taking G Therapy, my daughter Bryony has progressed in a number of ways.

A lot of the improvements came quite shortly after starting the treatment, which was in Dec. 99.

When she went back to school in January her physio remarked on how her trunk control had improved and strengthened. She is also getting Bryony to stand unaided, at first for only 5 seconds, but is extending it all the time. Physically she is certainly much stronger, can now lower herself to the floor slowly and with control , instead of bumping down onto her bottom. She can climb up and down the stairs holding the rails with no support, and the people at her riding group are really pleased at her progress, she is now steering her horse and trying to give it instructions, whereas before she was very passive and wouldn’t speak or react at all.

Another of the very prominent improvements, is her speech, both in quantity and clearness. You can now have a conversation with her quite easily, although the amount of ‘why ’s’ can still drive you nuts!

Her fine motor control has improved, and she likes to manipulate objects now, in fact likes to have a go at most things, a well used phrase is ‘me mummy, myself.

A lot of people have commented on how much Bryony has improved, teachers friends and neighbours, family and especially those who have not seen her for a while, and this improvement extends to her awareness and assertiveness, even her manner. The only down side being that she does get frustrated when not being understood, or being able to do things she wants to. Before this was not such a big problem.

With Best Wishes
