My name is Roman Soloviev.
I am the father of a child with cerebral palsy, and for several years I have been considering various rehabilitation methods for treating my daughter's cerebral palsy.
I am a teacher by education, hold a secondary medical degree, and have additional professional training as a physical therapy instructor.
Before Angelina was born (our project is named after her, by the way), I worked as a fitness trainer and massage specialist.
Since I knew everything about massage, I used it daily from the age of three months in hopes of eliminating my daughter's spasticity. But the treatments were ineffective. Then my wife, Natalia, received advice from experienced mothers on forums to see an osteopath.
We began taking Angelina to all the recommended treatments. Our wallets were empty, and her motor skills were never developed. The specialists insisted that we needed to work long-term because we had come late.
I asked to be accepted as an apprentice by a specialist who was still working in Korolev at the time, but he refused.
Literally a week later, I came across an ad on Instagram. One of the country's top osteopaths was inviting me to his course on craniosacral osteopathy for doctors.
I paid the money, took the course, and contrary to recommendations, I worked several times a week, working several times a day with Angelina. I was deliberately trying to overdose. After all, everything is poison and everything is medicine. But for some reason, the medicine didn't act like poison. I then wondered: maybe it wasn't medicine at all?
It turned out it wasn't medicine.
We had to roll over, crawl, get on all fours, sit up, get up, and walk, not lie under someone's hands and breathe, waiting for a miracle.
After much research and experimentation, I came to the conclusion that physical education is the primary tool for developing Angelina and her motor skills!
In other words, I literally took her arms and legs and moved them alternately, as if she were crawling. I didn't realize it then, but I was giving her nervous system the opportunity to sense the movement, remember it, and then reproduce it independently.
In rehabilitation, this is scientifically called a "facilitation technique"—an intervention aimed at facilitating a motor action with the goal of acquiring a motor skill.
We use this technique to meet a child's need for movement and develop the skill. Since every child needs movement and the sensations it evokes, we must help them move in a facilitated manner, or even passively if they are unable to perform any movements independently.
It has been scientifically proven that in 75% of cases, children with cerebral palsy, with proper support, master walking. Without proper training, they unfortunately run the risk of becoming one of the 25% of those who don't walk.
We learned to roll over and crawl. But we were faced with another overarching goal: LEARNING TO WALK!
Back in 2015–2016, I dreamed of Angelina walking.
It probably wasn't even a dream, but rather an obsession. I dreamed at night of her walking. And when I woke up, I was consumed by the fear that she would never walk.
And I analyzed everything we used to see how it would help her learn to walk. When I began to develop critical thinking, I became an opponent of all "soft," energetic, and pseudoscientific treatment methods.
I know parents who torment themselves with thoughts of not being able to spend enough time with their child. To somehow reduce anxiety, parents try to compensate by going to rehabilitation centers and attending private sessions. This is neither good nor bad.
It's just that the child's physical fitness level depends on the path we choose, the goals we set for ourselves, and the means we choose to achieve them.
