Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Is there a way to improve muscle tone in the truncal area?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Do you have a large exercise ball or Gertie Ball? That was one of the best exercises my son did in Physical Therapy to improve his Hypotonia. Just sitting on it at different angles and using the trunk muscles to balance helps build them up. hth, Margaret >Is there a way to improve muscle tone in the truncal area?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 - THanks!! Yes, our exercise ball has been a permanant fixture in our living room for a long time. Thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering more along the lines of herbs or eo as I " know' that tone can't change but I came across accidently that shizandra, rosemary and antler velvet are all used for adolecent hypotonia and I was intrigued and curious in what type of application they could help? I don't know if that makes sense???? THanks! Steph -- In , " Margaret Helm-Duell " <naturalindulgences@h...> wrote: > Do you have a large exercise ball or Gertie Ball?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi Steph. 25 years ago my daughter was born with hypotonia, a forum of CP. The doctors didn't know if she would ever be able to walk because her left side is so weak. Isometric exercises helped her but she will always have the muscle weakness.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Where is the best place to purchase them, is there an inexpensive option? I have a bad back and was advised to use one. anne - THanks!! Yes, our exercise ball has been a permanant fixture in our living room for a long time. Thanks for the suggestion.
