Thanks for sharing this. We are dealing with the same thing right now. My 11 yr old son who's dream is to play football and can not play in any contact sports right now. I myself suffer from Chiari, Syringomyelia, and the other conditions that come along with it. I also have 2 out of 3 kids that have some of these conditions also so no football for my son ! Thanks so much for sharing this video my son now knows he is not alone !
