[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was diagnosed with low tone, I said "no, he is just like me." It's my normal, so it took me years to realize I also had hypotonia. I think there is a genetic component to it. When I was a kid, everyone just said I was clumsy, bad at sports, lazy, etc. Now my son with years of PT has surpassed me in physical skills. He doesn't think he is clumsy or bad at sports or lazy. To sum up, a good PT and OT are priceless. Be happy, OP, because this condition is so treatable!! And even though my hypotonia is untreated I have still turned out OK, happily employed in a desk job.[/quote]

OP here.
Interesting that you bring that up- I have always been notoriously unathletic. I hated PE in school (couldn't get the ball over the net, the slowest to finish races, etc.) but did do fine in dance. I loathed sports and competitiveness. As an adult, I exercise daily so am fit and toned (weight lifting, cycling, jogging, Pilates, etc.) and otherwise have no problems.[/quote]
