Conditions we treat
Cerebral Palsy
Function, positioning and independence for children with movement disorders.
Understanding Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy results from an early injury to the developing brain and affects movement, posture and muscle tone. It is non-progressive, but its functional impact changes as a child grows — so therapy must evolve too.
Our focus is participation: sitting for a meal, holding a pencil, communicating a choice, moving safely around a classroom.
Signs to look for
- Stiff, floppy or fluctuating muscle tone
- Delayed sitting, crawling or walking
- Asymmetric movement or a strong hand preference before 12 months
- Difficulty with feeding, chewing or drooling
- Unclear speech or no functional speech
- Difficulty with fine hand tasks
