Did you do therapy to improve...

Post Reply New Topic

your balance and coordination?

Did it it make it better when you did it?

How long did it take?

Did you take it for sensory issues too? Did he help get rid of any of them? How long did that take for it to reduce the sensory issues?


I did occupation therapy when I was a kid. I started doing it every Wednesday when I was 11 and did it for a year till we moved to Montana. It improved my balancer and coordination and my sensory issues. Now I have good balance and my coordination is pretty good too and my sensory system is better.
That's how I outgrew my dyspraxia.

I've never had any therapy to improve anything. I have always just been medicated instead with "zombie drugs".

I didn't have therapy as such but I went trampolining in a special needs group because the trampolining is supposed tp improve my balance and it has! Thanks to that I can actually ride a bike without stabilisers (although I still fall off sometimes).

Never. It improved naturally as I got older. It was great to finally be able to ride a bicycle when I was almost a teenager!

Therapy is a pseudo-science in most cases (not always).
Beware, always go back to real doctors (people who studied MEDICINE) for any therapy advice.

Nope, but I could have certainly used it. I hated being the kid who was an outcast because he couldn't balance a bike while all the other kids could, at the age of 10. I eventually learned, but it took a lot of time and effort and being scared of falling over and over again. I still wonder how or why my parents never managed to get help for me in this area back then.

My coordination is not terrible compared to some but martial arts has helped. I'm clearly not as coordinated as the others there. It can be frustrating because I take longer to learn things.

Mirrors help me. I can see myself in the mirror that gives me some self awareness.
