If a person broke his leg, he knows that he needs to call an ambulance, that in traumatology he will make an X -ray and put a gypsum. Even if this is the first fracture in his life, he still imagines a treatment plan in general terms. But the family where a child with cerebral palsy is born, most often does not have the same clear idea of ​​how their life should go through - but there are many “healers” and “psychics” around. The “such things” learned from the physical therapist Ekaterina Klochkova, whether non -traditional medicine for cerebral palsy helps.

A usual idea - if ordinary medicine cannot cure, then you need to try unconventional. There are many options - from visiting “Chinese” or trips to China to the Doman method.

Here, I saw a video on YouTube, where a man heals leaks. Nearby, a happy woman crying grateful tears and some kind of child in her arms, which was supposedly cured. You see, if this video arises, then it can convince someone. Homeopathy, osteopaths, applying dogs to painful places, a miracle yoga.

This is because abroad parents immediately from the birth of a child are explained what cerebral palsy is entered in the state register, and there is a built system with indicators in which a neurologist, orthopedist, and teacher are included. And parents live in a routine world where all steps are painted. Of course, everywhere there is a period of searching for a magic pill, but still there is a certain system where you, disappointed, can return.

And we do not have this system. Therefore, parents rely on their feelings. What do they say? Where it is expensive, it’s good there. Where [the child] yells, it’s good there, because they do something. Where they take the child - there is also good, and we ourselves can’t put the child on our feet.
