Mom initially noticed the challenge when he first started to walk. Enzo would slide one of his feet, and eventually, he was just walking with a slightly turned-out foot. She also noticed that his legs could get stiff when jumping or walking. He eventually got a diagnosis of Apraxia.

Later on, she noticed he was struggling a lot with his speech. He spent a lot of time in speech therapy, but his ability to clearly understand and communicate was always a challenge.

Time to nerd out for a second Healthy movement and coordination in the nervous system is so fundamental to how the body functions. If the brain is sending unclear signals to the body, then it can greatly interfere with the movement patterns of our kids…

Since healthy movement is foundational to the rest of the nervous system’s development (speech, 🗣️ emotional regulation, decision-making), we often see immense positive changes in those areas when children get regular nervous system-focused care.

For Enzo, it was no different. When his nervous system started getting calmer and balanced, not only were his movement patterns better, but his speech was more online, too!

Now, mom says “Enzo is running more smoothly, he can jump with his feet leaving the ground. His mobility is so important that he’s able to walk jump play as a 4 1/2 year old should! Enzo has every chance to play sports and do everyday movements like other children his age!”

“Also, regarding his speech, we feel since he’s been coming, he’s had more clarity and focus to help him comprehend how to say words clearly! He seems so much more sure of himself! He’s asking more questions and answers way more questions.”

GO ENZO! Keep asking all the questions, buddy. The same way your amazing momma asked the right questions to find answers and to get your little body the help that it needed
