Cerebral Palsy

Exercise is crucial for people with cerebral palsy, helping maintain mobility, flexibility, and strength, while also preventing injuries and improving psychological health.

Our programs target:

• Balance and coordination
• Flexibility
• Strength and posture
• Pain and fatigue management
• Gait retraining
• Functional skills training

The primary goal is to make movement more efficient, enabling individuals to perform daily activities with greater ease. Research shows that structured exercise programs can improve motor function (movement)²; muscle strength¹ and gait² in individuals with cerebral palsy.  Mental health gains of physical activity may also benefit those with cerebral palsy.
