Note: The following is Part 2 in our Introductory Series. This series was originally written as a testimonial for my father’s office, per his request. I have included it here, as originally written. That is why you will see it presented as a list of bullet points, instead of standard paragraph form.
If you have not already read the Introduction, I highly recommend you do that here.
This post is all about the PHYSICAL changes my son experienced in his first 7 weeks of using the Lifewave X39 patches. The other parts of the series include the changes we observed in his SOCIAL, COGNITIVE, and EMOTIONAL life.
Toe walking
Since starting the X39 patches, he has significantly decreased “idiopathic toe walking.” His calf muscles are looser and his heel is dropping.
Expansion
His foot has “grown” (expanded) at least two shoe sizes because of the changes in his muscles and foot. This is the first summer of his life that he can wear flip-flops – and he loves them! 🙂
Arches
The arches of his feet have also dropped significantly. They were painfully high.
Toe elongation
His toes have “relaxed” and spread out instead of being so tightly cramped. They look so much longer I find myself just staring at his feet, like “Where did these come from?”
Muscle tone
His muscle tone has improved tremendously. He has gone from skinny and flabby to thin but very muscular.
Relaxed arms
He no longer walks with his arms up high and crossed over one another. They are now often just resting at his side, like we would say is “normal.”
Spinning (“Stimming”)
He used to spin around constantly, a form of “stimming.” For the most part, this has stopped. In any case, it has dramatically decreased.
Overall physical strength
His physical strength has exploded. He can now lift an entire large box full of canned goods – when before, he would tire out just carrying our pool bag a few hundred feet.
“Tics”
Lots of different physical “tics”and movements have either drastically reduced or stopped
altogether
MOM NOTE: When I ran this one by him, he said, “Oh yeah…well, I have better things to do than [that tic]. Like (and he thought about it a second, then smiled)…just resting my arms here on the chair.” For a kid whose body and/or mind was practically never at rest for the better part of a decade, his cheery, matter-of-fact response almost made me cry right there on the spot!
Sleep
He is sleeping so much better – falling asleep faster (sooner), staying asleep, and even sleeping in late (no complaints from this mom! 🙂
Bedwetting
Nighttime bedwetting has not occurred once during the time he has been using the X39 patches. It was an occasional problem before and we could not discern a pattern. But in the months leading up to starting the patches, there had been a slight uptick in occurrences. Since Day 1 of
patching…not one accident.
Running Speed
He can run faster than ever before (that one he added with a huge smile, just beaming with confidence!)
Stretching
He is able to do a variety of stretches that were very difficult for him before. Some as simple as a toe-touch. Others including butterfly and V-shape. [He also added this one and my jaw almost hit the floor when he demonstrated for me.]
Regurgitation
Remarkably less regurgitation after eating. This had been an embarrassing struggle for him for so long and a tricky one to address through other healing modalities.
This was delicious! Thank you!
