Emmett’s been in a lot of pain lately

Emmett’s been having a lot of back pain recently. He’s been to the doctor and it appeared to be muscular in nature so he was referred to physical therapy.

He was also in OT as well. He reached a point where he was doing well enough that he no longer qualified and insurance stopped paying.. Fast forward a few years and Emmett's grown quite a bit. He's constantly turning his right ankle, as well as sorta dragging his foot, which causes him to trip. Anyway, he's been on a wait list for PT for months now and it's finally…
