Now I can Foundation - Physical Therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy

I had the pleasure of visiting with Tracey Christensen who is the co-founder of the Now I Can Foundation in Provo Utah. Along with her husband Joel, they give hope to those affected with Cerebral Palsy.
We are going to work together as a team to promote the rehabilitation and care that is needed for the children in their clinic. I will be using my skills as an Athlete to promote their cause and to help the children in need by making families who have children with Cerebral Palsy and other neuromuscular disorders more aware of the possibilities that they have for rehabilitation through the techniques that Tracey and her crew use at Now I Can.
You have the availability to visit the clinic or you can make it easy and log onto their website to make a charitable donation to the foundation. www.NowICan.org

Here is a little bit about what they do:
Our mission at Now I Can is to help children with disabilities reach their full potential and greatest independence. We know the joy we have experienced along with our daughter when she’s exclaimed, "Now I can do this!", as she achieves a new goal. What a great feeling — and now more and more children will experience it.
Now I Can offers traditional physical therapy, intensive suit therapy, mild hyperbaric oxygen treatments, and feeding therapy. Intensive therapy sessions are three or four week longs, Monday through Friday for four hours daily.
Now I Can's therapy team has extensive experience in both intensive and traditional physical therapy. They are also trained in neuro-developmental treatment (NDT), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and kinesio taping. We also have experienced, skilled and caring aides to assist in giving children the best care possible.
Children with neuromuscular problems, such as cerebral palsy, will benefit greatly from the use of the NeuroSuit — now the first suit of its kind to include elbow and glove attachments! The Intensive Model of Therapy is becoming increasingly popular for the results and growth it produces in children. Once or twice a month visits to a physical therapist are often not enough to help a child make the strides they would like to make.
For those of you who have traveled far and wide to seek therapy for your children, we invite you to visit Utah — a great place to bring the whole family! Excellent choices in accommodations are nearby (with free shuttles), and there is a lot to do in the area. (please see our list on the Visitors page)
