A good treatment for the relieving the symptoms of cp, I have found. I have become more resistant to the toxin as I have got older.

Yeah had it tonnes in my hamstrings when I younger. Wasn't effective enough for me on its own so I got major surgery which worked a treat.

I had it when i was younger in my hamstrings, calf muscles and adductor muscles, really helped, but haven't had it since I was 13 or so.

I tend to control my tightness with baclofen, a physio regime and orthotics.

I had it done when I was 8 but only was effective in the first two weeks and then it wears off for some reason
