This is so amazing how much this could make it so that she doesn’t need much physical therapy at all. Look at that! It’s like it made that glut come alive. It’s like we keep doing these hip exercises and I couldn’t understand why we have to do hip exercises with her? Why is it weak? You know, it wasn’t firing. The fascia was holding it from firing. Isn’t it unbelievable? She’s just sitting and kneeling. She didn’t used to do that. She, but now she’s just squatting up. Squatting up. The funny thing is when Dr. Metler did the therapy, it caused a lot of pain, but she’s not upset with him.
She was getting up and she was like the happiest little girl going on her knees. Not on her stomach anymore.
And I couldn’t believe that she’s crawling like this in like a week that I didn’t see her. It’s just amazing. It is like magic. So how is she crawling better? How’s it different? Because before she was kind of swimming, you know, like turning herself and now she’s really crawling and she’s standing. And the way that when she stops that she keeps going up and the other ones down. It’s just impressive. She is just very mobile.
My name is Catherine Kleinmuntz and I would like to share with you why my husband and I are such strong supporters of DFR Therapy.
Don and I have 8 year old twins – a boy and a girl. When our daughter was 11 months old, she was still not walking. In fact, she was not even crawling properly. She was doing the army crawl instead of normal crawling with right arm left leg left arm right leg etc. We had taken her to an orthopedic surgeon to check out her hips (as all twins get checked) and they checked out fine. She was working with a pediatric physical therapist for two months and there was little progress.
We knew about the work of Paul Mettler and so had him check her out. After working on her for 20 minutes – our daughter was crawling properly. The next day she was walking.
Three years later our daughter had a growth spurt and was once again having coordination problems. She would fall easily. She would lose her balance. Her gait was strange with her legs going in all directions. And she had a pronounced lordosis in her back.
Again, we went back to Paul Mettler and this time he worked on her for 30 minute sessions over a period of 6 weeks. She stopped falling, had no further gait issues, and her core was so strengthened as a result of releasing the tight spots that her lordosis was almost gone.
I can’t imagine the long term effects my daughter would have had with the issues she was dealing with if we hadn’t addressed them early on.

I brought him because of him complaining of neck pain, and I couldn’t touch his neck to brush his teeth.
Now he’s breathing better. I think because his neck is straighter now, he’s able to swallow more and his neck pain is gone.

That’s the first time you’ve been able to do that in over, what, four years? Yeah!
