Therapy is FUN!!

 We've been having weekly physical therapy for Konny at Heartspring for a little over a month now and he is loving it!  He is always so excited to go and adores his therapist.

There just happens to be a big Thomas set in the waiting room.



We're working on overall strengthening, jumping, stairs and throwing.  The goal is to learn these activities correctly so the muscles that have atrophied due to disuse will become stronger.  Plus, the stronger his muscles are, the less he will fall.  He's so clumsy because his muscles fatigue so quickly.





One of his issues, we've been dealing with since he was an infant and that is the muscle weakness in his neck. He will still tilt his head sometimes when he's tired and has a lot of difficulty lifting his head and looking up when in the prone position



And when you're good and work really hard at therapy, you get to play in the ball pit!  Katie really enjoys this too.

Looks like therapy is fun! I'm sure my kids would do just about anything to play in a ball pit too.
