Raphael, Gabriel and Michael are triplets who were affected with various degrees of CP due to a premature birthing. Government funding for Raphael and Gabriel allowed the Buettner family to come to the Spiral Movement Center to receive somatic treatment for their CP. Raphael was wheelchair-bound and was unable to move due to severe contractures of all his limbs; Gabriel had CP mostly on the right side of his body which limited his ability to use his right hand.

This video documents how children with CP can make physical progress when they undergo holistic, individually-tailored motor programs which promote physical awareness, experiential exploration and play. It also shows how the effort and total commitment of determined parents can motivate children to overcome the greatest challenges in life. ❤️
