Physiotherapy

Oliver started physio. this week.

Reason for Physio. Assessment:
- Oliver has Spina Bifida, hydrocephalus and chiari 2.

Assessment Finding:
-Head shape- mild left parietal flat spot, he favours his head turned to his left side. Hydrocephaly being monitored by his doctors.
- Full passive neck rotation.
-Oliver holds his left leg bent up at his hip and outwardly rotated. The right leg flaccid. Full passive arm and leg movements.

 Plan:
- Since Oliver is so young they start out real slow. Right now we are working on proper positioning, stretches.
- Gentle range of motion activities for his legs and arms.
- Encourage Oliver to turn his head to his right side.
- A variety of play postioning.

Off to Oliver's appointment. He's still unsure of he's carseat as he doesn't go in it much other then we go to his appointments.
