March is cerebral palsy awareness month, which gives us the opportunity to both celebrate and educate others about cerebral palsy (CP)
Cerebral palsy physiotherapy aims to target the specific motor symptoms of cerebral palsy and reduce long term complications.
What are the Early Signs of Cerebral Palsy?
- Abnormally low or high tone when holding the baby
- An inability to lift the head by the appropriate age
- Poor muscle tone in limbs resulting in heavy or floppy arms or legs
- Difficulty coordinating movements such as grasping or clapping
- Delay in motor milestones such as rolling, crawling, and walking
- Involuntary movements or tremors
Our pediatric physiotherapy services include a comprehensive assessment of a child’s gross motor function and posture, including strength, posture, gait, flexibility, balance, coordination and sensory processing.
Early identification and intervention are key for successful outcomes. Contact us today to book an appointment with our therapist!
