We first met Shea in June 2017 when he was 15 years old. A gifted athlete with tremendous drive, he was restricted by the limitations of Cerebral Palsy (CP) on his affected left side. Shea was a motivated athlete who he would push his body to extremes that often caused him injury. The impact of over-driving his non-impacted, right side to compensate for his weaker and functionally-impaired left CP side was obvious when comparing the muscle strength and tone, particularly of his lower extremities.
Levi - Cerebral Palsy ( CP ) athlete with affected movement, balance, and strength limitations on his right CP-affected side
Levi’s has a burning desire to play soccer at the highest level possible despite his cerebral palsy movement limitations. Levi was born with CP detected at an early age. His parents noticed that he was favoring his left side as he was developing his motor skills. He is fortunate to have parents who are proactive with access to the best medical treatment available. They are open minded to explore supplemental care. At 10 years old Levi was one of the youngest CP children we’d worked thus far. He was referred to us by Ashley, Shea’s father, shortly after we completed our first group of sessions with Shea. Ashley is co-founder and head coach of CPSoccer.
