Exercise Recommendations

[Peter Rothermel]

Hi Dr Woeller,

I wanted to ask you if you recommend exercise as part of your treatment plans? I know that this can be a challenge for some kids but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
Yes on exercise. Any type is better than nothing, but things that provide challenges from a coordination standpoint are most helpful. For example, getting kids to play on and around play gyms with ladders, crawl spaces, ropes, etc. is best. Also, if they can ride a bike, kick, catch and throw a ball and more is going to help too.
