Fantastic suggestion. Getting a good quality moist heating pad may make a huge difference in his pain level. They are totally unlike what is sold at the drugstore. He could use it on his legs and feet even when he had the brace on. We've found it very helpful with tight muscles that can come from inbalances with hypotonia. http://www.amazon.com/Moist-Heating...mp;ie=UTF8&qid=1308848204&sr=1-2 another good brand is thermophore. Both have good prices on Amazon.
