KST A to Z
Cerebral palsy

A seven-year-old child was born with cerebral palsy affecting his legs. His walking was very stilted, and he constantly fell over; his body was c-curved to the left.
The adjustments have always been determined by KST, often T8 and his thyroid. He has never been able to take part in the school sports day. He was thrilled when he came in to tell me he had run 1/3rd of the egg and spoon race.
I adjusted him while he was running and as he visualized himself running. His thyroid came up again and adjusting this made a noticeable difference. He took part in the Egg and Spoon Race again the following year and was able to run all of it. Next year his goal is to win the race!
