Summary
This study tested a gentle hands-on technique called Strain Counter-Strain in 30 children aged 4–8 with spastic cerebral palsy who had trouble opening their mouths and drooled often. The technique targets tight muscles in the neck and jaw to release tension. After one month, researchers measured changes in mouth opening, drooling, and overall oral motor skills like feeding and swallowing.
