Day 1 of intense therapy went well. Hunter cried pretty hard at first but the good old iPad brought him out of it.
Here are some pictures for today!
The first thing Hunter did was some stretching and position holds and then he got fitted with the Neuro suit. This suit helps align all of his joints and muscles in the proper position. It has bungees all over it! Sergio is an amazing therapist! (That's Reese in the background working with Muriel).
The next
thing Hunter did was stand in the stander. This allows gravity to work
on his hip, knee and ankle joints all in one exercise with gravity doing
its work. This is when he got a snack and a drink.
The next thing he did was get in the spider cage. This is where they put a belt on him with bungees in 4 directions. This helps him do things "on his own" without falling one way or the other. He didn't love this activity but he warmed up to it.

He was one tired boy. I am learning as I go and
all of this will become more comfortable for me too!
