5.0 out of 5 stars From a mother of a brain injured son . . ., February 20, 1999

This review is from: Starting Again: Early Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury Or Other Severe Brain Lesion (Paperback)

This is physical therapy at its finest. The Europeans provide a different way to move with a patient, relate to a patient and begin purposeful movement directly relating to life skills. My son, 4 years post accident, only ate pureed food until we worked with him through Pat's book. He now eats regular food, chewing, etc. This is a Godsend for those who American physical therapy has not worked because of the severity of the injury. These people are masters at getting the severely head injured back into the mainstream of life, without condescention, and with total support. I cannot thank them enough.
