Stretching Nina: Cerebral Palsy

These are some of the stretches that we do when we stretch Nina. We repeat them 2-3 times and try to stretch her a couple of times a day. Some of the muscle stretngth excercises are in preparation for her rhizotomy. You can see how much she fights it as she pushes me and flinches and cries a little.

@alsedenmark yeah i was glad the stretching was done to me to it just brought back unpleasant memories, and no shes not a tortured child i agree if she didnt get this done i supose she would have a hard time.

@leighalamb14 Yeah, i remember that too. But glad it was done today, otherwise i would prolly be in a wheelchair. I actually think that this mom is being very respectful towards her daughter. She listens to her, and you can see that Nina is used to it, knows what to do, and the pain is over fast. She is definitely not a tortured child:)
