What is CEREBRAL PALSY

Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects muscle tone, posture, movement, and coordination. It is non-progressive but can lead to changing needs as a child grows and develops.

When to Seek Help for Cerebral Palsy

Seek therapy if your child:

  • Shows increased stiffness or tightness 
  • Experiences new difficulty with balance 
  • Falls more frequently 
  • Outgrows current equipment or braces 
  • Has pain, fatigue, or joint discomfort 
  • Shows regression in motor skills 
  • Has upcoming or recent orthopedic procedures 
  • Enters a new developmental stage (walking, school, puberty)
