Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that affects muscle movement, coordination, and posture. The condition results from brain damage that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth. Children with CP may experience a range of motor challenges, from difficulty walking and maintaining balance to problems with fine motor skills like writing or dressing. Each child with CP has unique needs, requiring individualized therapeutic approaches.

Solaris Pediatric Therapy provides comprehensive therapy programs to address the motor and developmental challenges associated with cerebral palsy. Our team of physical and occupational therapists work to improve mobility, strength, and coordination, helping children achieve greater independence in daily activities. Through adaptive techniques and assistive devices, we ensure children can participate in age-appropriate activities to the best of their abilities.
Therapies for cerebral palsy also focus on reducing muscle stiffness and promoting range of motion. By using therapeutic exercises, stretching, and positioning, we aim to prevent complications such as contractures or joint problems. Our therapists collaborate with medical professionals to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to therapy plans.
At Solaris, we believe in empowering families through education and support. We provide guidance on managing CP at home, including strategies for positioning, exercises, and the use of adaptive equipment. Our goal is to enhance the child’s quality of life by maximizing their physical potential and fostering independence.
