Description
What happens when a patient has a cerebral vascular accident, closed head injury or anoxia? The symptom demonstrated may be eye misalignment and/or spastic muscle tone. The symptoms resemble primitive reflex patterns. Do you brace and manage symptoms or treat the cause? When one treats the cause, the symptoms are easier to treat and faster to remedy through neuroplasticity techniques.
