Who We Help

Who Our Therapy Supports

We can help your child if they have any of the following conditions:

Cerebral Palsy

We support children with Cerebral Palsy to improve head, trunk and postural control, helping build the foundations for functional movement and greater independence.

Global Developmental Delay (GDD)

For children with GDD, our programmes focus on developing core strength and stability to support motor milestones and encourage active participation in everyday activities.

Down Syndrome

We help children with Down Syndrome strengthen their postural control and movement patterns, supporting improved balance, coordination and physical confidence.

Acquired Brain Injury

Following brain injury, our therapy aims to rebuild lost movement skills by strengthening core stability and retraining functional motor control in a structured, supportive environment.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

For children with SMA, we provide targeted support to help maintain and develop postural strength, promoting active movement where possible and supporting long-term physical wellbeing.

Other movement control challenges

We also work with children who have a wide range of movement control difficulties, offering personalised programmes designed to improve stability, strength and functional ability.
