This could be long Took dc 10 to an osteopath some weeks ago as I noticed she was holding herself in a somewhat twisted fashion, one hip higher than the other, she had also been complaining of leg pain.
Osteo gave her some manipulation, acupuncture and massage and she has had several sessions of this over the past few weeks.
Retained reflexes has been mentioned so dh and I looked at INPP wbsite with a view to getting an appointment after Christmas.
Today osteo has mentioned dyspraxia, something my dad mentioned a while ago as dc is really quite awful when it comes to sport and general co ordination.
I ruled out dyspraxia though as she doesn't have problems with writing or fine motor skills. Osteo has said she definitely has 'issues'
If I list a few of them can you tell me what you think and where you think I should head next?
Couldn't coordinate herself on a swing until this summer.
Has poor posture
Not great with bats and balls
Quite highly strung, prone to anxiety/temper flare ups if there are changes in circumstances.
Issues with labels on clothes.
Terrible fear of vomitting and being too hot- which leads to passing out if she thinks this will occur.
Gets completely overwhelmed in school playground and similar social situations.
There are probably more but I can't think off the top of my head.
She has no learning disabilities though, great reader, writer, just passed 11+
Thanks for reading, if you can give me any advice I would be most grateful.
