Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy
Physiotherapy is an integral part of the management of cerebral palsy, focusing on improving mobility, function, and quality of life.
CP is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle control, and posture, resulting from damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth. It is a lifelong condition that manifests differently in each individual, depending on the type, severity, and location of brain damage. Common symptoms of cerebral palsy include muscle stiffness (spasticity), involuntary movements, poor coordination, balance problems, and difficulties with fine motor skills. Despite these challenges, individuals with cerebral palsy can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives with the right support and interventions.
At Neurobility we work with people with CP to ensure they are as fit, strong and independent as they can possibly be.
We help people with CP to
- Improve walking ability
- Improve muscle strength
- Improve fitness
- Reduce muscle stiffness
- Improve balance and co-ordination
- Regain use of their arm
- Improve sensation
- Manage spasticity
- Manage fatigue
- Reduce pain
- Learn about their condition with education and general support
