We noticed increased function and muscle mass. Started at age 2 with the tickle machine and never really had any problems with acceptance.Doesn't hurt if done properly.Your therapist should give you minimum and maximum settings.DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!!!!!!! LeeAnne

Ditto to LeeAnn's response. Natalie's not crazy about it--she says it "stingy tingles", but she has some really sensitive spots. We haven't seen alot of shoulder improvement (still trying though), but there's noticeable improvement in her tricep. Good luck!
