idiopathically tiptoeing

[tali122]

my 10 year old son has been idiopathically( i.e for no reason) tiptoeing and continually standing up since the age of 3 and despite physio has not improved, according to my research these are signs of cerebral palsy - and yet the various specalists have not mentioned it once
any parents with same probs including dyspraxia?

Hi there

my son age 13 has just been diagnosed with Dyspraxia, they too thought he might have cerebal palsy amongst other things. My son doesn't tip-toe but he does have tight ham-strings/hypermobilty and lax joints and this causes him problems.
