Have you been told that your child has Cerebral palsy 
Do you worry  about your child’s future and ability to walk 

Cerebral palsy describes a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture. Cerebral Palsy is considered a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child’s brain is under development – before birth, during birth, or immediately after birth. Cerebral palsy’s effect on function varies greatly, with some individuals able to walk while others requiring a wheelchair for mobility.

Research has shown that early intervention makes a difference in the gross motor function achieved by each child with Cerebral palsy because the brain is capable of change and learning new information and skills. Here at My Favourite Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists have been privileged to be able to share in and impact positively the outcomes in many children with Cerebral palsy.

An example is Miss B,  who is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and her parents were told that both her arms and legs are affected and it’s a likelihood that she will need a wheelchair for mobility. Miss B started Physiotherapy at My Favourite Physio at 18 months old, and our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists  worked hard with her and her family in an intensive Individuality tailored program for her. And she successfully achieved independent walking at 3 years old without a walking aid! Her medical specialist was surprised when she walked into her clinic for a review!

To find out how we can help your child achieve their best potential, ring My Favourite Physio on (02) 97904233 today! Early interaction matters and makes a difference!
