🥳 🎂 Scottie is ONE!
Scottie turned ONE today, and like many little ones in CIMT, her sessions have been a mix of tears, brief moments of calm, and short bursts of trying with each new toy. We follow her lead, keep things flexible, and lean into what motivates her most — food.

Progress doesn’t always look picture-perfect, but it is happening. And we’re proud of the work she’s doing in her own time.

Week 2 CIMT Progress with Scottie 💛

We wrapped up week two with lots of reaching and grasping practice. Even with a slow start at the beginning of her intensive, Scottie is getting more comfortable and motivated

Here she’s working on using her weaker arm to pull squigz off the window—building strength, coordination, and confidence with every repetition.

Proud of this little one and excited for her week 3 wins already. ✨

Scottie’s Journey:

Day 1 of our newest MCIMT intensive! 💪

This sweet 1-year-old is starting her journey toward stronger, more coordinated movement.

CIMT (Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy) helps kids build strength and new skills in their affected arm through daily play, movement, and fun!

We can’t wait to share her progress over the next few weeks — stay tuned for updates from her Powerhouse journey! 💛

✨ What if your child could lift, reach, and play with both hands?

At Powerhouse CIMT, we help kids with one-sided weakness unlock movement, build strength, and grow confidence — all through intensive, play-based therapy that rewires the brain.

This little butterfly is more than just cute — he’s showing new strength in his weaker arm after dedicated CIMT sessions.

When your child gains movement, they gain independence — and the ability to keep up with their peers at school, on the playground, and in daily routines.

🦋 Give your child the tools to fly forward.

📅 Booking now for upcoming intensives!

See you at camp,

🧠 Can a child really regain use of their weaker arm after a stroke?

At Powerhouse Therapy, we see it every day.

Through our intensive CIMT program, kids engage in targeted, play-based activities while their stronger arm is gently constrained. This encourages the brain to form new pathways and boosts function in the weaker arm — leading to real gains in independence, confidence, and everyday skills.

Whether it’s holding a ball, creating art, or learning to throw — every movement counts toward reshaping the brain and building ability. 💪

✨ It’s not just therapy. It’s transformation.

💥 Big goals need bold hearts. 💪✨
Just like this little superhero, our CIMT kids are reaching higher every day — one tiny triumph at a time.

🚀 Ever wonder how constraint therapy helps kids unlock their inner superhero?

“Wait — kids come back after camp?”

Yes! Because sometimes the brain just needs a gentle nudge to wake up what it already learned.

🧠 This 7-year-old just completed his third CIMT experience with us — a 2-week “brush-up” to reignite movement, control, and confidence on his weaker side.

🎯 His goals:
✅ Carry a tray using supination (palm-up control)
✅ Use a pincer grasp to eat and complete fine motor tasks
✅ Improve finger isolation to press keys/buttons — like playing the piano 🎹
✅ Apply hand function during real-life activities like eating, dressing, and play

💪 And the results?
Stronger, smoother, more purposeful movement — and that proud look says it all.
🌟 He’s already set for his next step: a bilateral intensive, and we’ll share the transformation soon.
👉 Follow along as we help children meet real-life goals — one brave rep at a time.

💥Two weeks in, and you can already see the difference. Stay tuned.

🔜 Next up: his bilateral intensive. Upcoming goals:
– Complete zippers and buttons for dressing
– Use both hands together to rotate paper while cutting ✂️
– Carry a tray with stability and intention

You won’t believe the progress he makes when both hands are activated. Stay tuned — the transformation is coming. 💥

“What do brushing teeth, opening doors, and putting on shoes have in common?”

They’re all part of a child’s daily routine — and they’re often the hardest goals to reach for kids with one-sided weakness.

We hear it from almost every parent:
“I just want them to be more independent.”

That’s why our CIMT program is designed to go far beyond the therapy room.

At Powerhouse Therapy, we use play-based, evidence-backed CIMT to help children gain the real-world skills they need — and the confidence to use them. Through repetition, motivation, and brain rewiring, they learn to move, adapt, and thrive in their everyday routines.

💪 CIMT helps kids build skills that matter:
🧼 Self-care
🚪 Independence
🧠 Brainpower + body coordination

👉 Our June sessions are in full swing — and every day, we’re watching kids grow more confident with each challenge they take on.

See you at camp,
