A lifelong neurological condition affecting movement and posture, supported by long-term paediatric physiotherapy.
Understanding Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone and motor coordination, usually diagnosed in early childhood. It's a lifelong condition, but the right therapy started early and maintained consistently can significantly improve a child's function and independence.
Our paediatric physiotherapists work closely with families to build a home-based programme suited to the child's specific type of CP, current abilities and developmental goals — always in a way that feels encouraging rather than clinical.
Common Signs & Symptoms
Delayed motor milestones
Muscle stiffness (spasticity) or unusually low tone
Difficulty with balance and coordinated movement
Abnormal posture or gait pattern
Difficulty with fine motor tasks
Our Treatment Approach
Developmental and functional assessment
Stretching and positioning to manage muscle tone
Task-specific exercises to build motor skills
Gait training and mobility support where appropriate
Family education so therapy continues between sessions
Benefits of Home Physiotherapy for Cerebral Palsy
Improved motor function and independence over time
Reduced risk of secondary complications like contractures
Practical home strategies for parents and caregivers
A supportive, child-friendly approach to therapy
Frequently Asked Questions
Earlier is generally better — many children begin physiotherapy in infancy or as soon as delayed milestones are noticed, as early intervention supports better long-term outcomes.
Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition, so the goal of therapy isn't a cure but steady improvement in movement, function and quality of life.
