I just want to say to Lizzie, that I don't feel I was disrespectful to the original poster. I don't want to go 'round and 'round doing a 'this one said' and 'that one said' on this forum. It's never my intention. If you re-read my post it simply says that this treatment wouldn't work for our child, I applauded the poster for bringing this information to the forum, and I only wished that we all be sensitive to the issue of different opinions. Nothing critical from me.

Best wishes.

this seems to explain the therapy & i am positive that this therapy is not only used for pain.

sorry, also the original poster said she went for range of motion not pain. and i think every parent would love to hear how to encourage range!
