Cerebral palsy
Multidisciplinary support for movement, posture and development.
Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement, posture and coordination. It's caused by differences in how the developing brain works, and its impact varies widely — from mild to more significant.
Every child with cerebral palsy is different. Coordinated, multidisciplinary care helps each child move, communicate and take part as fully as possible, and supports families along the way.
What parents often notice
- •Stiff or floppy muscles, or unusual posture
- •Delays in rolling, sitting, crawling or walking
- •Favouring one side of the body
- •Difficulty with coordination or fine movements
- •Feeding, speech or developmental concerns alongside movement
Every child is different, and noticing one or two of these doesn't mean your child has cerebral palsy. If you're unsure, an assessment brings clarity.

Common questions
Is cerebral palsy progressive?
The underlying brain difference does not worsen over time, but how it affects your child can change as they grow. Ongoing support helps at each stage.
Can therapy help?
Yes. Coordinated therapy and support help children move, communicate and take part more fully, and support families in daily life.
What does multidisciplinary care mean?
It means different specialists — such as physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy — working together around your child, rather than in isolation.
