Good message by David. However, for mirror therapy to be most successful the previous 2 stages of graded motor imagery must have been undertaken. That is, laterality reconstruction and motor imagery. They’ve written all about it at http://www.gradedmotorimagery.com.
I know of a number of people who have been on the graded motor imagery programme with incredible success. I think it requires quite a bit of ‘brain training’ work which takes time but I know it is risk free and quite cheap.
