Cerebral Palsy

Physicians recommend physical therapy for all children with cerebral palsy irrespective of how mild or severe the condition. Children who have cerebral palsy have varying levels of muscle control, mobility, and balance, depending on the severity of the disease. At Suarez Physical Therapy, we assist children suffering from cerebral palsy by helping them with balance, crawling, posture, walking, climbing, and muscle strengthening exercises. Our physical therapy sessions help children suffering from cerebral palsy to:

* Rise above or overcome their physical limitation

* Achieve some level of independence

* Improve their range of motion

* Build their muscle tone

* Learn or understand adaptive equipment, including how to use them

* Decrease the chances or likelihood of bone deformity

* Increase flexibility, fitness, posture, and balance

* Reduce pain and physical discomfort
