Studies in the last 10 years have shown that we grow new cells in our brain throughout our whole life. So the question comes to mind as to why the prognosis for children with brain injury is generally quite bad.
If we grow new neurons all the time, why does the brain not just replace the dead ones?

Studies have also shown that the building of new cells in our brain depends heavily on the supply of oxygen to the brain.
The diaphragm is a vital part of our respiratory system and responsible for respiratory rate and depth – in other words, a strong diaphragm can supply the body with more oxygen than a weak diaphragm.
If the body is under extreme stress, it will distribute the available oxygen to the “important organs” like the brain and the heart -therefore,the muscles including the diaphragm will have less oxygen. This damages the diaphragm and consequently it's function.
So now, we are facing the situation of a child whose brain needs a huge amount of oxygen to build lots of new brain cells and a respiratory system that can’t supply the vital oxygen or the pressures the lungs depend on for optimal lung growth.The child’s development will start to slow down and eventually when the growth of the child can no longer be supported by the dysfunctional respiratory system the child will start to regress.
The only way children with brain injury can start developing more normally is by treating the respiratory system to provide the necessary oxygen for brain growth, and the pressures from the diaphragm on the lungs, other vital organs and the muscular-skeletal system to prevent and treat structural abnormalities.
The Scotson Therapy was uniquely designed to treat the respiratory system which in turn enables children with brain injury to achieve a more normal development, better health and a generally improved quality of life. (read less)

When Linda Scotson's son, Doran was three days old she was told he was incurably brain injured and would be able to do nothing. She decided differently!

After exploring every hopeful avenue, Doran seemed little better. Linda saw that existing therapies relied on managing a child to use alternative muscles not the restoration of the right muscles. As children grew, this poor foundation caused increasing stress and collapsed under them. She began to believe that the answer lay in a principal that also applied to normal development and she set about the adventure of finding that answer

Modern medicine often sees the answer in some chemical fix for the symptoms. Linda knew that she wanted to deal with the actual cause at a more natural level. As a loving mother with total understanding of the problem, she had a unique qualification before she even began her studies at University College, London. Every brain -injured child Linda met had a problem breathing so Linda decided to focus her PhD research on the respiratory system. Her work showed that all neurological problems led to deep respiratory problems. Moreover, without normal respiratory mechanics, metabolic recovery in the brain was impossible.

Linda's extensive research and dedication led to the development of The Scotson Technique which, without the use of drugs or invasive therapy, proved the abnormalities associated with brain injury could potentially be reversed. Recovery was possible.

The real miracle of this carefully measured progress was that it was predictable and worked with ALL children. The unique, gentle, deeply restorative therapy, gradually transformed the lives of the children and their families.

Thanks to Linda's passion and determination to find a better way of living for her son and others like him, the Advance institute for The Scotson Technique has now helped families worldwide and can help you Advance your child.

Scotson Technique in the News: Hugs are a dream come true for Emily
.
Sarah Prosser

thisissouthwales.co.uk, 12 December 2009

FOR little Emily Prosser being able to hug her mum and dad was something she could only dream of.

But the five-year-old's life has been transformed thanks to the fundraising efforts of a city community.

The Bishopston youngster was born with cerebral palsy and was unable to walk or talk.

But thanks to kind-hearted supporters raising cash towards specialist therapy, costing £5,000 a year, she has made big steps forward.

Emily has been having Scotson therapy — that uses oxygen and breathing techniques to improve brain development — and the family have been thrilled with the results.

Her mum Cath Prosser, of Pyle Road, said she was thrilled with the changes she had seen in her daughter and revealed she was able to say "yes" and "daddy".

She said: "Emily was five in September and is now in her fourth year under the Scotson technique.

"She started full time school this September at Whitestone Primary, in West Cross, and she loves it.

"She is showing herself to be very artistic and loves to paint, she can now hold a paint brush and, with help, chooses her colours, paint and rinses her brush.

"She is now eating more independently, holding and eating a banana and breadsticks and taking a spoon to her mouth to try and feed herself . Although it tends to go everywhere, it is a start."

Mrs Prosser added: "She started saying yes and daddy last year and is now starting to say mummy and can put her lips together to give a kiss.

"Her gross motor skills (control of her major limbs) are more controlled and coordinated, so she can wrap her arms around you now and give a hug, before she could not control her arms to keep them in a hug.

"She loves the trampoline and can bounce on her legs really well and has just started to use a walking frame."

Back in September, the youngster started relying on an electric wheelchair to get around in the school yard.

Mrs Prosser said for the first time in five years Emily had gained her independence.

"This year Emily has started letting us know what she wants to wear and that pink is her favourite colour," she added.

"We are totally committed to keeping up the therapy because it is making such a big difference to her quality life."

She said annual fundraisers were being held, called Stuff 4 Kids nearly new sale, at Murton Church Hall, to help ensure her therapy could continue.

The sale in Bishopston during November attracted crowds of people — with a total of £725 being raised through the table-top sale alone.

Mrs Prosser said she was looking to set up a website in the new year so people who had supported her daughter could chart her progress.

Plans are in place to hold a musical fundraiser at Mozart's, on Walter Road, tonight at 6.30pm.

Jemma Krysa, Ollie and Niki Stitch, Martin Thomas, Colm and Rob Lear, will be performing on the night.

There will also be a musical fundraiser at The Monkey Bar Cafe, on Sunday, January 31.

Sonny Marra's story: Oxygen starvation at birth
.
Sonny Marra

How The Scotson Technique has helped my son, Sonny Marra

by Pippa Marra

Sonny Marra was born on 21 July 2002 after a text book pregnancy but 11 days late.

The labour started as routine but ended in an emergency c section after Sonnys heartbeat dropped.

When he arrived into the world, he was not breathing, moving etc. He had inhaled the meconium which had lined his lungs like tar preventing the doctors from being able to intubate him. As a result, he was starved of oxygen within the first 30 minutes of his life.

The doctors didn't expect him to survive the night and the following morning we were told that the first 72 hours would be critical but his chances of survival were still slim.

We were devastated but tried to remain positive. 48 hours later, he was taken off the ventilator and off the critical list and from then on, it went from good to better every day and he improved very quickly. He remained in hospital for 16 days; they repeated the brain scan just before he left the hospital and we were told he was a very lucky little boy because that the scan was clear. We could now take him home and start enjoying him.

He gained weight and met most of his milestones on time but his hands did always seem quite tight and his sitting wasn't good.

The hospital has continued to monitor him at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months and they were always happy with his progress.

It was only at the 11 and a half month check that the paediatric consultant said that she felt Sonny was showing signs of mild cerebral palsy and that she would like it confirmed with an MRI scan. We had the scan done and, of course, it did come back confirming our fears. There was a tiny scar on the basal ganglia (the part of the brain that controls the motor movement).

From that point, we were thrown into a whole new world of therapists claiming they knew what was best for our little boy. For 6 months, we lived and breathed physio, constantly moving him, positioning him and re-positioning him. We were given more equipment than we could house but were very grateful that these people were there to help.

We started treatment at Advance in March 2004 and have never looked back.

Linda Scotson talks a lot about superficial muscle and when we first went to visit, I remember thinking, 'I don't think Sonny can have much of that because he can stand, hold his head up, sit a little.' But it isn't until he started to lose the superficial muscle that you could see the difference. On losing this, he always appeared to lose the ability to do certain things i.e. grip things that he had always been able to hold. He would stand less than before. Then the true muscle starts to build up and you see him able to perform those functions again, only properly.

Sonny has continued to improve on a weekly basis. At the end of each visit to Advance, Linda explains the changes that she would expect to see before the next review period and without exception, she is right.

Last time we visited in Apr 2009, she said that Sonny would want to start using his legs more and would start to want to cruise around the furniture etc. She could not have been more right. Sonny is actually trying to walk independently wherever possible, and spends most of his spare time on the trampoline in the garden, walking across and back constantly.

Sonny is now 7 years old and attends mainstream school. He has just gone into Year 3. His only form of mobility is a walker which he controls admirably.

He took his Sats Tests with all the other children in his year last year and he achieved a level 3 (above expected average) in Maths and Literacy and a level 2b (average) in his handwriting. He was over the moon.

He attends after school clubs for trampolining, gymnastics and swimming. He is very popular and loved by all that meet him.

The Advance therapy [The Scotson Technique] is a big commitment, but once you understand this, it not an overnight miracle and you get into a routine of fitting it into your day. It just becomes part of every day life.

Thanks to Advance, Sonny is a healthy, happy, fun loving, normal 7 year old little boy. He has a go at everything.

Advance is part of our lives and I see it being part of our lives well into the future.

From left to right: Cathy, Kym and Linda Scotson
who developed The Scotson Technique

Extracted from "Mom-About-Town", Davao City's fascinating people, events and places through the eyes of a Dabawenya PTA mom

"Healing hands" - Sun.Star Davao, Oct. 10, 2009

Born prematurely at 6 months old, Kym Siapno is deaf, blind and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. But, even with these physical challenges, Kym’s devoted parents, Denton and Cathy, are determined to have their young daughter live the best life possible.

Through the Internet, the Siapnos discovered Neuro-Respiratory Therapy (NRT), now called The Scotson Technique (TST). TST was developed through more than 13 years of research and practice by Linda Scotson.

Like Kym, Linda’s son Doran had cerebral palsy. In December 2004, Cathy and Kym travelled to the United Kingdom to undergo training for TST.

The drug-free technique is a “unique, predictable, deeply restorative rehabilitation therapy for children and young adults with disabilities caused by brain injury such as cerebral palsy, microcephaly, floppiness; developmental delay; learning disability; autism; vaccine damage; epilepsy; dyspraxia; head injury; stroke; scoliosis; and neurological syndromes (and even spinal injury)”.

The Scotson Technique

“As a result of TST, Kym laughs a lot now. We can already bring her to malls and even on out of town trips which she enjoys. We used to feed her with blended vegetables and fish, now she can chew her food and whenever we feed her, she acknowledges if ever she still wants more”, describes Cathy, a registered nurse.

And if sleep was a problem before, now Kym sleeps from 8 to 10 hours or up to 12 hours uninterrupted.

“The greatest help that TST has done to Kym is for almost 4 years now she never had an asthma attack and has never been hospitalized. All her maintenance drug (steroids) has been discontinued and all she takes now is vitamin C”, she adds.

“TST relies only on the use of face towels which parents will use in making very light massages on different areas of the body. We thought that this would be a perfect setting for the Filipino family since there has been a steady decline in the number of physical therapists (due to the nursing trend) and expectedly, the cost per session became higher”, discusses Denton.

The Siapnos were so impressed with Kym’s improved condition that they invited Linda Scotson and her team to come to Davao so that more children could benefit from TST. Linda sent her senior therapists from the Institute for Advanced Neuromotor Rehabilitation to the city last January 2007. It was the first time ever that the training was conducted in the Philippines.

Healing hands

Inspired by The Scotson Technique motto, ‘We can advance’, Denton and Cathy aimed to make the TST training sustainable and to be able to accommodate more Filipino families. During the British therapists’ first visit, each of the families had to raise P25,000 to cover the training costs. While there are some families who can afford it, sadly, most cannot.

Thus, the Healing Hands Center for Brain-Injured Children and Adult Foundation was established as a registered charity foundation by the families and friends of special children in Davao City. The center is located at GEM Village in Maa.

“As parents, we realized how challenging life can be to have a child with special needs, so we thought of a way on how to extend services to the less fortunate families so that their special children can also undergo various therapies to appropriately address their needs to develop their motor, cognitive and communication skills”, explains Cathy.

The Healing Hands Center’s goal is “to provide essential therapy to children diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cerebral palsy, learning disability and developmental delays and at the same time, share these with parents to promote involvement and participation”.

The center started its operations last March 2008 with 30 children being assisted and provided therapy by trained professional staff who are volunteer occupational therapists, physical therapists, teachers and nurses.

“It is our desire to extend our services to more developmentally challenged children, help them become productive and independent. We passionately wish to continue assisting more families through a community of generous hearts and kind spirits”, smiles Cathy.

“We have a list of children who need intervention but the family cannot afford their therapy. So, we are knocking on the hearts of generous individuals to help sponsor a child’s therapy through the ‘Foster a Child’ program”, encourages Cathy.

Benefit concert

This coming October 16, 2009 at 7:00 p.m., Fullhouse Events and Productions will have a comedy show dubbed as “Todo Tawanan sa Dakbayan”, with the Healing Hands Center as the chosen beneficiary. The performing artists are Tuesday Vargas, Rufa Mi and Pekto with tickets sold at P300, P500 and P1,000 (silver) and P2,500 (VIP).

Todo Tawanan sa Dakbayan

“Other than the guest artists, some special children will show their God-given talents too”, shares Cathy.

“We guarantee that you will not only enjoy the show but at the same time, make a big difference in the lives of children with special needs. The proceeds of this show will be used to build more therapy rooms and if God permits, we can also put up a small gym for the children, which is very important for their development”, hopes Cathy.

Truly, Cathy and her team are not only gifted with ‘healing hands’ but also of hearts overflowing with love to nurture the special children’s indomitable spirit.

Are you willing to spend time with the kids of Healing Hands Center? Be a volunteer! Call Cathy at tel. no. +63 (0)82)2448888 for more information.
