We are pleased to inform that from April therapeutic range was extended with three-dimensional treatment feet by. Barbara Zukunft-Huber. The therapy involves using special grips, therapeutic mobilizing and stretching of the foot. After therapy adjusted position of the feet is fixed with bandage. Three-dimensional treatment of the feet can be used from the very first days of life.
Since January, there is the opportunity to evaluate the child by Prechtl's method. This method is quick and non-invasive at all; with high efficiency predicts the development of younger patients. In particular, it is recommended in premature infants, where Global Patterns can be assessed in the first days of life. Global Patterms of Mvement has huge impact on the normal motor and cognitive development of the child.

How does it work ?
There are few possibilities. The easiest solution is to shoot a movie by cell or camera and send it to the address indicated above (via email). After receiving the email, I shall assess whether the video material is sufficient. Up to three days the state will receive an assessment of the child's e-mail in PDF format. and the proposed deadline for online conversations Skype to discuss the assessment, indications and possible recommendations and inform about the way payment.
?
During movie recording Your child should be in the same diaper, rested and eager to play. We want to observe the highest skills on his tummy and on back (both). If your child has only a few days / weeks, register consolation, lying on his back and on his stomach, without touching the child. Try to encourage the baby to turn his head to the right / left side, try to make eye contact, encourage them to draw hands in your direction or the toy. Try to get the child's attention was not attracted by the unnecessary information from outside (eg. A person which is making a movie, your fun, lamp or TV set).
The ground on which you record your movie should be stable and dull, it can not be soft, slippery blanket, the best solution would be yoga mat, foam pad or stiff, but flat surface eg. The sofa or changing table. After recording the highest skills of the child on his tummy, on his back, grasping or locomotion skills (speed, crawling, rolling, geting up or even walking) send the record (using the youtube app or on email data artur.polczyk@gmail.com) and basic info about Your child: date of birth, name, is premature? and if something bothers you - write it! After receiving the payment (instructions will get you in the mail) and analysis of the material I will contact you by e-mail by sending an assessment of the child's motor skills and a proposal deadline Skype video call.
In case of problems with recording / uploading a file - you can assess the child live, via Skype, but such a solution is connected with the fact that the child does not always show the maximum of their abilities.
Skype can be downloaded from the official website of Skype.skype'a.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below You can find answears for a frequently asked questions of parents of the youngest patients.
If you have any doubts - please write.
Questions and answers:
How to prepare for a visit?
- First of all, the child should be rested. Assessment and exercises of your child come out best when the baby will be at least 30 minutes after meal.
- It is also advisable to prepare the place where the child can show their skills. This may be changing, a yoga mat or foam pad.
1
Why does the child cry during exercise?
It is a frequently asked question by a parent.
- if the parent actually
understod and tried on himself the therapy, He would feel that the exercises and positions in which the child is held are not painful. Then parent is more confident and more willing to perform recommendations and exercises.
The child is rebelling because of the work that we ask him to do and becouse of unstated position, in which we withstand his movement. During exercise we break down certain stereotyped behaviors, incorrect movement patterns that the child had time to acquire - hence the opposition cry.

Where to practice with my child at home ?
Exercise can be performed either on a table or the ground after preparing the substrate. The substrate can be neither too firm - that the child does not feel discomfort because of pressure to the ground, but at the same time can not be too soft - then the child has no chance properly to buil the support and work against the force of gravity.
A good solution is to use a tent mat or thicker yoga mat. Some parents are ordering overlay for the table at an upholsterer which imitate the surface of the rehabilitation table. It is worth to think about it, if your child will need constant or long rehabilitation.
A common mistake is to use a blanket that during exercise glides over the surface of the table or the floor and prevents proper execution of exercises and maintain a child by a parent.
The parent should feel that the substrate, which builds the child is stable, secure and gives both him and the child comfort.
4
Depending on the condition and performance of the child we select in the treatment a suitable amount of exercise and the duration of stimulation. If there are no contraindications it is worth practicing three to four times a day. Unfortunately, I know that parents do not always have the capacity to perform four series of exercises during the day and practice two or three times - it is worth stressing that the exercise has effect only if they are done regularly, not once every two weeks.
Mostly stimulation time (in Vojta method) is a few minutes in infants and a few to several minutes in children and adults (in one serie).
How much time is allocated to exercise at home?
How often do I meet with
a therapist ?
A visit to the therapist's office or home visit aims to test whether the exercises are performed correctly, if your toddler has not started avoiding work that we require from him. The parents often meet with a therapist once or twice a week. If you come to practice and feel that the exercises come out correctly - then the time between the next visit is longer ap. 2 weeks.
