@heartswithriver: Hey friends this is another activity we do with the vibrating gym rollers. River loves them and we learnt in physical therapy how to use two of them together. One on River's back and one on his chest. They explain it is stimulating for River's muscles and nerves and River does a lot of movement during a session. He moves his arms and legs and also his feet and he opens his eyes really wide and makes excited sounds ❤️ #heartswithriver #gymroller #vibration #vibratingroller
how do you know this isn’t painful for river? I have a brain and spinal cord injury and vibration is really aggravating to my nerve pain.

😥 he’s having a charlie horse/muscle spasm in his left arm….my calf muscles do that too sometimes and it’s painful. if you look at a charlie horse closely it is exactly that rippling movement. i hope he at least doesn’t feel that. may be why his eyes get so big when he uses the vibrations 😭😭

The twitching in his feet is muscle spasms- it’s a dystonic reaction. Involuntary spasms, his eyes are probably wide and he’s more vocal because it hurts. - sincerely a nurse who works with kiddos with anoxic brain injuries.

The amount of pain he must be in with his muscles contracting involuntary like that. I cannot imagine. I am praying that you are feeling no pain and only see love.

This is not him loving this, it's either spasms or a seizure. So very sad!

I would hope you have monitored or ARE monitoring his heart rate to assure he is actually enjoying it and not in pain.

Those movements are not voluntary- they are dystonic movements. This happens when there is a brain injury present.

What does River have to say about his treatments? Can you give us examples of yes and no from him?
