As a physical therapist working in neuro-rehab environments for 40 years, there are ALWAYS methods to facilitate improvement! You are doing an awesome job! I’m not sure where you are located, but I encourage you to find a PT who will work with you on techniques you can add to this!

Have you thought about a neck brace like the whiplash brace. Or even one of those airplane neck pillows.

Some therapists don’t know how to work with neuro, if they can’t tell a patient to perform an exercise because the patient can’t motor plan, they are stumped. Neuro patients need to be stimulated and overstimulated sometimes to demand a brain response. Be creative and get him moving as safely as you can! Just because he can’t sit unsupported doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be standing and going through walking motions if you can do it safely. I currently have a patient walking 120’ but he cannot perform bed mobility or sit unsupported and he’s probably 4 times this kids age. Unfortunately the walking has not stimulated improved bed mobility, sitting balance, and transfers so that the family can assist him easily but at least we tried and are still not giving up hope that his brain eventually starts motor planning better

Sir, this is truly amazing! Listen, in addition to the PT you’re doing - also include “tapping qigong.” All you do is tap all over his body. It moves and balances his energy! There are youtube videos to show you and tell you the benefits. Just like the PT - keep believing and be consistent everyday - it will help his body in so many ways! You can even use qigong tongs purchased off Amazon. Another thing you can do, rub your hands together to get your energy moving, and place your hands on his body. Energy goes where energy is needed. If you’re just sitting with him watching tv you can do both of these to help his body’s energy! Blessings! Sending healing energy! 🙌💙
