On cerebral palsy day PT the 10 things we should do:
1. Just come out our cult- whether it is NDT or SI and read science
2. remember there is no abnormal movements
3. well we cant change abnormal movements- but we can make them achieve there goals
4. Educate patients with level IV and V regarding accepting - wheelchair
5. keep you hands of pelvis and trunk and allow the patient to explore options
6. Posture correction -well if this is physiotherapy for children with cp- well just quit peadtrics
7. If you are putting the child in a dark room, binding them etc- well that is child abuse and you should be locked up
8. If you are encouraging kneeling for 15 minute or something- well you are a moron-stop practicing physiotherapy
9. for a child with sitting balance if you are treating the patient in lying or on a swiss ball- well quit or read
10. If you are one the morons who keep on asking me if not NDT what else is there - just read or do nothing- because NDT is as effective as doing nothing.

PS: please for god sake only uneducated people will be impressed if you are trained and certified in NDT
