Zoe started on G Therapy just before her 13th birthday. Prior to this she had number of years contact with the pets institute in Budapest and Sheffield along with the usual NHS services. She currently attends for Sessions at Bobath Scotland where I believe the exercise programme is complemented by the use of G Therapy.

The changes noticed in Zoe on the Therapy have been suite ones perhaps due to the fact she was quite old and well developed when we began starting on it. There have been numerous ‘sensations’ in her limb and cracks in the affected joints e.g. Ankles, knees, elbows and even lips, sometimes a feeling of warmth eventually, a ‘crack’ then some relief of the feeling of pressure she has experienced in the joint. Noticeably, there has been a change in her left foot which has previously been twisted inwards causing her to walk on the outside tip of that foot, It is now easier for her to recognise when this foot is twisted and to straighten it although still quite difficult in the standing position.

She is also more aware of general posture in sitting and standing and will try to correct this.

On a occasion earlier this year Zoe experienced a lot of heat in her left hip then finally after some hours a loud crack , then as she was in bed by now and sleeps on her tummy, she found she could get the hip down to touch the bed and had never been able to do this before. This improvement remains.

The pressures of a full time education Zoe is currently at standard grade level and travelling 40 miles by bus twice a day to and fro from school mean that we can’t spend as much time as we might on physio etc. However Zoe enjoys the social aspects of school and is hoping to achieve 5 ‘O’ grades next year in English, Maths, French, Biology and Geography.

She is a very happy young lady and feels that G Therapy has made a difference to her life. She has definitely not deteriorated since taking it and is managing to keep mobile and a good posture when normally in teenage years with her condition these would deteriorate.

Zoe’s writing and numeracy (always a huge challenge!) have improved over this period and it is possible that G Therapy has helped here too.
