RJ Mitte suffered brain damage at birth, diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 3. How did he strengthen his motor skills?

Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, like his character Walter White Jr., which became his breakout role. The actor was reportedly diagnosed at the tender age of three and was put in casts to support his feet. Later, he was provided with braces. However, he refused to wallow in self-pity, strengthened his body and motor skills through sports and exercise, and soon outgrew his need to rely on braces.
