First Visit to Physiotherapist

Today was the first session with Nat's physio - Sarah from Kids Focus Physiotherapy. She is located at Turf City. After a series of questions and assessing Nat's condition, she predicted that Nat would probably need at most 3 sessions to graduate Nat from physio. As for complete recovery, Sarah said that we have to keep stretching her archilles tendon, and she said Nat could recover within a year once she starts walking.

We had to purchase a set of "support" to make sure Nat dont bend her knee while she is standing as she tends to do so nowadays after the cast if off since last week, stands like a flamingo as i called Nat, putting her weight only on her right leg. During the session, Sarah tried on Nat and makes her practise standing properly/straight against the mirror. Nat did it despite all her protests! We were heartened to see that Nat could put her foot down on the ground properly, finally.

The first session ended about 2 hours later and about $200 poorer...Nat only stops crying when Sarah said ok to go. =p The next review session will be next week and then Sarah would advise whether there is a need to order a pair of gaitor from USA for Nat.
