Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) Rehabilitation is a specialised physiotherapy approach designed to support individuals with CP.
What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral Palsy (CP) Rehabilitation is a neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain that affects movement, posture, and coordination. CP is a non-progressive condition, meaning the brain injury does not worsen over time, but its physical effects can change and evolve. Rehabilitation focuses on improving mobility, function, and independence across all stages of life.
CP can result in a wide range of physical challenges, including:
- Muscle stiffness or spasticity
- Poor balance and coordination
- Delayed motor development
- Joint contractures or deformities
- Postural difficulties
- Pain and fatigue
These challenges may vary in severity and can affect one or multiple limbs. Without intervention, secondary complications such as joint stiffness and reduced mobility may develop.roving outcomes and supporting development.
At Physio Matters, our Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Programme is tailored to each individual and may include:
- Gross motor skill development – crawling, walking, sitting, and standing
- Stretching and strengthening exercises – to manage spasticity and improve muscle tone
- Balance and coordination training
- Postural management and seating advice
- Use of assistive devices and orthotics
- Task-specific and play-based therapy – especially for children
- Education and support for families and carers
Our approach promotes neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections — through repetitive, meaningful activity. We aim to help individuals reach their full potential in movement, independence, and participation in everyday life. [www.flintrehab.com]
