I'm confused...my 8yo ds with diplegic cp has needed stretching exercises every day for years. But because it's so routine I think I've lost my way with what's necessary.
So: Do you do exercises once, twice a day or more?
How long does it take?
What time of day do you do them?
I only do them once, in ds bed, just before his story, and it takes only 5 minutes, I do his legs (arms are ok). It doesn't sound like enough though. I do make sure he is in good position when playing etc, and make him sit cross legged for a few minutes each day.
Feeling very guilty that I'm not doing enough.
I daren't ask the physio because it is such a basic requirement to do stretches, I can't ask her after all these years! Any help or finger wagging to tell me to do more, very welcome!!
