I posted this info into an adult thread but thought I'd put it here too.
My son has tilted since his surgery and it does worry me a lot. He holds himself with his right shoulder higher than his left and he bends his left knee, thereby leaning a little to his left side. He has been in physical therapy for it since late March and it is only helping a little. It does really help with his flexibility and strength though so we plug along at it twice a week for the most part.
He has finally started to become a little more self-aware of how he holds himself. He will now go and look at himself in the bathroom mirror and try to even out his shoulders if I ask him to do so. He has a checkup with the surgeon this Thursday (it's been 13 months since his surgery) and I wonder, as always, what, if anything the surgeon will say can be done about this posture issue. Alexander is doing great other than his posture though and I would hate (really!) for another surgery to be mentioned as a way to fix it.
If anyone has any comments about this or suggestions about fixing this problem, thank you in advance.
