PBMT - Day 99

The first Physiotherapy session at DK went pretty well today. It started at 10am and lasted about an hour. Adrian was a bit shy at the beginning (as always) to meet with the Therapist. The therapist brought us to the kids play area where there are different sorts of toys/equipment for training. First we all played with Adrian's favorite ball... The therapist taught Adrian how to kick the ball using his feet as Adrian only likes to throw it all the time. Next, we tried taking Adrian to walk up/down the stairs, playing with the trampoline for the balancing & jumping skills and encouraging him to run on the mat etc. It was fun and a very good exercise for little Adrian. Time flew by quickly in that hour and Adrian didn't even want to leave in the end!!! The plan now is to bring Adrian there once a week for the exercise with the therapist and so his muscle can be strengthened. Like the Therapist said, kids his age should at least know skills like running, jumping & kicking etc. Hopefully Adrian can catch up with other kids his age in a few months' time.
