ITS OFFICIALLY SMA AWARENESS MONTH! 💜🩷

August is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month, a crucial time to shed light on this rare genetic condition that impacts the lives of many families around the world. SMA is characterized by the progressive weakening and wasting of muscles due to the loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. This condition affects mobility and can lead to severe physical limitations, but it does not impact cognitive abilities or a person’s intellect.

During this month, we come together to honor the strength and resilience of those living with SMA and to support ongoing efforts aimed at improving the lives of those living with SMA. It’s a time to amplify the voices of individuals and families who face daily challenges with courage and determination.

Education and awareness are key to fostering a supportive and knowledgable community. By sharing stories, spreading knowledge, and engaging in advocacy, we can make a meaningful difference. Join us in raising awareness, supporting those affected, and working towards a future where SMA is no longer a barrier to living a full and vibrant life.

Together, let’s celebrate the progress made and commit to furthering efforts that bring hope and innovation to the fight against SMA.

Parenting a child with Cerebral Palsy (CP) involves navigating unique challenges that shape their daily life. Each child's journey with CP is different, yet there are shared hurdles that many face, influencing their everyday activities. Here's a closer look at some of these challenges:

🏋️‍♂️ Muscle imbalance
Many children with CP experience uneven muscle tone or coordination, affecting how they move and accomplish tasks.

🔄 Stereotyped Movements
These repetitive or involuntary motions can limit functional skills, making everyday activities more difficult for your child.

🚶‍♀️Limited Movement
Difficulty initiating, controlling, or maintaining movement is a common struggle, impacting mobility and independence.

💪 Focus on Body Strength and Control
Whether in the lower body, with challenges like leg strength and balance, or in the upper body, affecting arm strength and coordination, CP affects various aspects of physical function.

🌍 Perceptual Difficulties
Spatial awareness, body position, and movement planning can present additional challenges in navigating the world around them.

Understanding these challenges is crucial for providing the right support and nurturing an inclusive environment for your child.

Never engaged a rehab center for suit therapy before? Here's what to expect.

Here's a step-by-step guide to our process!

1️⃣ First, we start with an initial assessment where a therapist discusses the patient's concerns and therapy goals, and performs a physical assessment to determine specific needs.

2️⃣ Next, we move on to suit selection, where the therapist recommends the right suit and size based on the assessment.

3️⃣ Then, the therapist puts on the suit for the patient – it may feel snug but shouldn’t be restrictive.

4️⃣ Finally, we kickstart therapy sessions with the patient wearing the suit and participating in targeted activities.

These activities include exercises, play, or sensory integration techniques to improve movement, posture, or sensory processing.
