Globality in the treatment
In Lukas Foundation we use the Neuroevolutive Concept as a baseline, assessing and treating children and adults with alterations in the development of function, movement and postural control. Within the totality of the treatment, we assess and intervene in the same way to prevent, stabilize and improve derived respiratory pathology or specific lesions of the thoracic-pulmonary system.
Evaluation indicators and specific results are obtained
After a continuous treatment of 1 year of neurological and respiratory physiotherapy, different results are achieved and observed:
-
Taking into account the low mobility of users, (many of them do not move anything by themselves and are basically sitting all day in their chairs, which prevents even proper breathing,) these treatments help improve the general physical conditions of our children, mainly thanks to the increased flexibility of the body which results in an improvement in mobility.
-
With the treatment, we also help to mobilize secretions, in general very abundant, which are due to hypotonia, hypertonia and back problems (including high degrees of scoliosis-kyphosis). The weekly treatment facilitates coughing and secretions are expelled, thus improving oxygen saturation in blood. Normally after a physiotherapy session the pulse oximeter indicates that the saturation of oxygen in the user’s blood has increased 1 or 2 points.
-
By improving the physical condition thanks to each physiotherapy session, mood also improves and the children look happy both during the session and after.
