AlexAndrews24

hi, my name is Alex. I have a son called Riley who is 6 years old. he got diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy this year. we have had a couple of different therapy sessions, he has now got a leg splint (which I don't think is helping)…...I have no idea what im doing or what I need to do. I need someone to show me which way is up. can someone offer me some guidance on the process please? thank you xx

Hi @AlexAndrews24

Good Day it’s great to meet you!!!!!!!

I’m very very sorry to hear about your current problems with your leg split.

Sorry but did you get the leg splint via the “NHS” ??????

Can you please let me have some details on the “leg splint” ????

I will try to help you out with things then!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Hi @AlexAndrews24

Good to meet you and welcome!

Receiving a diagnosis can be a really confusing and emotional time, even after a year. What you are feeling and experiencing is completely normal and understandable. Are there any specific areas that you think I could help you with?
