Last winter our daughter Maddie had had several eye and ear infections, and all required topical and oral antibiotics. These were instigated by a plugged tear duct. A pediatric ophthalmologist said there was little chance the duct would open up on its own since she was well over a year old, and there was no harm in waiting a little longer before SURGERY.
My husband and I did not want our little girl’s eye probed, and we definitely did not want her to have a general anesthetic, so we brought to see Denise Schwartz at The Manual Touch PT. Denise, had been treating our son Ben for almost a year for Autism Spectrum using an IMT approach. She suggested using a non-invasive IMT approach to treat Maddie also.
As Maddie could only handle an hour of treatment at a time, it took multiple sessions to work through the eye issues surrounding the plugged tear duct until Denise said it had resolved,. Sure enough, it went away and has not come back.
Maddie is so incredibly happy now. She laughs and sings much more, cries much less, and loves to be hugged more now.
The other point I would like to make is that the duct would not have opened on its own. This is my evidence that IMT was the only factor in the positive changes that occurred.
