Default Day late maybe?

I am new to the site, so I may be a bit late in the information you are seeking. My daughter has Sensory Integration Disorder and she benefit greatly from a series of joint manipulations. Her proprioception is very scewed, even at now 11 years of age, and when she was younger, gentle compression of her hip, knee, shoulder and elbow joints, as instructed by an O.T. proved enormously beneficial. I see a huge difference even now when I massage her, and I do stretching, gentle rocking and different MT techniques on her. It does "put her back in her skin" very nicely and the effects can last for days. There are some really good books on the subject that help explain the wide variety of sensory integration issues.
