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.

Ok , i nevrer met randy clark, paul st john is who we saw. i heard of him through THIS board and heard great things. the mother was soooo upset of how the people treateed her that i actually talked with her over the phone. i at the time was busy driving to three states for advise about treatment of our bpi 2 yr old never surgery b/c we got to a bpi specialists farely late b/c local docs advises othervise. anyways i blew the woman off too. after the visits i was appualed at the suggestions. / we still have one more comming up/ anyways i rememberred that woman so i asked our pt about paul st john. she is a trained pt who actually took one of paul st. johns classes! so i was convinced! he did massage the muscles in the neck, back & shoulder& pec. my son was so lose afterward. this morning he got a little tighter over night but he is definetly loser. this guy is my alternative to BOTOX! i was told that botox can cause allergies? it may or may not but i am not taking a chance.

and, i totally have the UPMOST RESPECT for anyone who chose surgery. we have not ruled it out. i just feel that i must rule out every other possible route first.

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!
