Sandra, Budapest, Hungary

Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy

Sandra, 16 month old, had a history of motor delay and spasticity since early infancy. Left arm and left leg were affected: the arm was flexed and the leg was extended. The left arm was held in a flexed position, with a hand in a fist. Findings during a physical examination also included spasticity: an increase in muscle tone, abnormal persistence of infantile reflexes, hyperreflexia on the left side. The girl had evidence of a left hemiparesis.

We treated her since she was eight months old using an early intervention technique including a combination of long-term BEST massage therapy, exercise program, homeopathic treatment, and hydrotherapy. After three months of our intensive treatment there was no evidence of motor delay. Furthermore, the symptoms of spasticity and hemiparesis were completely eliminated.
