As on OT working in community care wanted you to know your videos are super informative, thanks for speeding up my preliminary research and understanding of mirror therapy : )

[MoniqueShaq]

This was such a great video I tried it before at home but thanks for your tips I’m going to try it again and hopefully have some actual results from it because I did not know half the stuff you said but now that I do I’ll put it into practice. I can’t wait to see the actual video on using it because I will definitely be watching that one

This and your other MB video are great.
Such a difference in standards of explanation.
There's some interesting stuff on inter hemisphere comminicstions, suppression and substitution after damage in the literature - interesting but a distraction perhaps
Anyway good to have a meaningful description at last

[ritauy]

Definitely like you to do so I can use it as a guide. Thanks
