In addition, the Technique has been found useful in the management of growth-related problems such as scoliosis and Scheuermann's disease, and simply helping children to feel more comfortable during periods of rapid growth.

Kids and Dyslexia

Dyslexia can be very confronting for children and parents.
It is very important for the child to know that there’s nothing wrong with his/her intelligence.

There are different theories about the causes of dyslexia, some lead to inherited conditions, others to factors that may happen in the development process. In fact there is nothing concrete about the causes of dyslexia from the scientific world.

Research shows that a large number of children suffering from dyslexia probably went too fast through a development phase: the crawling phase!

Children that either has gone too fast through the crawling phase, or instead of crawling have moved forward sitting on the ground pushing themselves with both arms, probably didn’t ‘practice’ enough the coordination between eye, arms and legs. Therefore it can be that the brainstem was not stimulated enough and the connection between the other center of the brains was not fully made.

Stimulation and training of the brains at a young age can improve the connection of different brain centers.
