Babies Do Not Lie (Vojta´s Reflex Therapy)

When our son was born and it was evident he has Cerebral Palsy, we were automatically sent to rehabilitation, where we learn how to exercise Vojta´s Reflex Therapy. Nobody asked if we agree with it, nobody asked if we understand what happen with our child. I knew that lot of mothers gave up with this exercise, because they could not bear the crying of children. I though to myself I have to stand it, because I really want to help to my son.

Physiotherapist work with our son as with rabbit and he cried so much, she had to leave the room for moment. She yelled on him:"Don´t cry! Exercise!" It was terrible picture. My hands shook when I tried to catch him in some position. But I said to myself I have to stand.

After half year of practicing these exercises four time a day, we went to big rehabilitation center where I have met the best physiotherapist of Vojta´s Exercise in our country. She told me that it is not necessary to exercise four time a day, that pulling of reflexion points does not hurt kids and that they even can drill exercise without crying. I was happy, but my son still did not talk, still wore napkins and what was the worst - he did not want to sleep. I suspected it has somethimg with exercise, but doctors convinced me that it is because of his diagnosis.

Yet his condition did not improve. I decided to go to another state, to the center of education of Vojta´s Reflex Therapy. I have learned there, that if this therapy is not practice correctly, it can harm baby. It can cause epilepsy and psychical problems.

We stopped to practice it and from that moment our son started to speak, to sit, to sleep and he does not need napkins anymore.

His crying was real crying from pain. Babies do not know to lie.
