Is It Right for Us?
An intensive week can make sense at certain moments.
Ongoing work from home is valuable. But some stages call for concentrated, hands-on attention, in person, from someone who sees your child every day for a week. This intensive may be a good fit if:
Not sure? A discovery call will tell you honestly whether this is the right step for your family, and if it isn't, we will say so.
Sensory difficulties are part of daily life
Settling and regulating the nervous system is a daily challenge, and you want gentle, structured support for it.
You are entering the transition toward non-ambulant
You want focused, gentle support for movement, balance and confidence in movement during this stage.
Recovery after surgery feels slow
You are looking for careful support for coordination and walking mechanics, once your child's surgeon has cleared them for it.
You want hands-on work in person
You would rather spend a concentrated week one-to-one than follow a programme alone at home.
You are an adult living with muscular dystrophy
You want a gentle, well-paced week of one-to-one support for the nervous system and movement.
What the Week Focuses On
Three areas, worked on together every day.
Each session is structured to support the nervous system, the way the body moves, and recovery, because each one shapes the others.
Focus 1
Nervous system integration and regulation
Gentle, structured sensory input to help the nervous system settle, organise and communicate more clearly with the body. This is also the heart of the week for children with sensory difficulties.
Focus 2
Movement mechanics, where your body needs them
How the body works together as one kinetic chain (biomechanics and kinetic chain re-patterning), supported with gentle movement re-training. The areas we work on depend on what each person needs: from the feet, ankles, knees, hips and pelvis, to the upper body as well.
Focus 3
Laser therapy for recovery
Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with cellular processes. Research has looked at its effects on mitochondrial activity, energy production, circulation and tissue recovery.
- A supportive modality, never presented as a treatment for the genetic cause of muscular dystrophy
- Used in the evening sessions, to support recovery
- Applied along the posterior chain, from the feet to the pelvis, and to the upper body when your needs call for it

What We Work On Together
The week is designed to support:
Motor coordination
Balance and stability
Nervous system signalling
Whole-body movement integration
Confidence and safety in movement
Gentle, Not Pushed
Intensive does not mean exhausting.
This week is not about pushing your child physically. It is about giving the nervous system and the body clear, calm, well-paced experiences, and structuring each day so that it supports recovery rather than draining it.
More is not always better in muscular dystrophy. The pacing is part of the programme.

Ways to Combine
The intensive works best as part of a longer plan.
The intensive is available to families who are already following an online programme, or who have trained with Clementine in Cyprus before. There are two common ways to build it into your journey.
Option 1
Alongside your programme
A strong fit if you are already following an online programme, or have trained with Clementine in Cyprus before. It combines well with a follow-up training, so your plan is reviewed and adjusted while you are here.
Option 2
With the 3-month plan
For adults, and for families with very little time. Combine the intensive with a 3-month plan that includes:
An Egoscue movement plan
An assessment
Three months of home care
A laser device, with one hour of laser training
A short routine of about 15 to 30 minutes a day, designed especially for adults who do not have someone to carry out therapy with them, and for extremely busy families whose child is in good condition.
Ask about the 3-month plan on your discovery call.
Need more than five days?
Intensives of 10 and 15 days are also available on request. Book a discovery call to talk it through.

Common Questions
Before you book.
Does the intensive replace medical care?
No. The intensive is a complementary programme that works alongside your child's medical care, never instead of it. It aims to support the nervous system and the way the body moves.
Will the week be too tiring for my child?
The programme is paced to support recovery without exhausting your child. Sessions are about an hour each, with a morning and an evening session, and every session is adapted to your child.
What does a typical day look like?
A morning session of about an hour with Neuro Reflex Therapy, gentle nervous system regulation and short, simple Brain Gym exercises. Then an evening session of about an hour with Neuro Reflex Therapy, laser therapy along the kinetic chain (the posterior chain from the feet to the pelvis, and the upper body depending on needs), and gentle movement re-training.
Can adults come too?
Yes. The intensive is for children and adults living with muscular dystrophy. We especially recommend it for adults who do not have someone at home to carry out the therapy with them, so it can be a very good option for them. See also the 3-month plan above.
Where does the intensive take place?
At the Ayia Chrysovalantou clinic, Alexandrou Ipsilanti 46, Paphos, Cyprus.
Are flights and accommodation included?
No. The €1,500 covers the 10 sessions. Flights and accommodation are not included. Paphos has many affordable places to stay, and many families combine the week with a holiday by the sea.
How is the laser used in the intensive?
Photobiomodulation is used as a supportive modality in the evening sessions, to support recovery. It is applied along the posterior chain, from the feet to the pelvis, and to the upper body when your needs call for it. It is never presented as a treatment for the genetic cause of muscular dystrophy.
Who can book the intensive?
The intensive is available to families who are already following an online programme, or who have trained with Clementine in Cyprus before. For adults and very busy families it can be combined with a 3-month plan. If you are not sure where you fit, book a discovery call and we will help you find the right starting point.
Are longer intensives available?
Yes. Intensives of 10 and 15 days are available on request. Book a discovery call to discuss them.
How do I find out the available dates?
Book a discovery call. Clementine will look at what is most appropriate for your family and agree the dates with you.
How do I know if it is the right step for us?
Book a discovery call. We will talk through your child's situation, your goals and your current medical care, and tell you honestly whether the intensive is the right fit, or whether another route would serve you better.
The MD Vitality Method™ is designed as a complementary, evidence-informed rehabilitation approach. It does not cure muscular dystrophy or replace medical treatment. Individual programmes should be adapted to the person's diagnosis, medical status and functional abilities in collaboration with their healthcare team. If your child has recently had surgery, please check with their surgeon before beginning.
