Cerebral Palsy Physiotherapy.
Supporting movement, strength, and independence at every stage of life.
Cerebral palsy care is lifelong, and our physiotherapy support adapts with you — from early development through to adult mobility, available at our Capalaba clinic or in your home.
What Is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of conditions affecting movement and posture, caused by disruption to brain development before, during, or shortly after birth. It affects each person differently — some experience mild coordination challenges, while others have more significant mobility needs.
Physiotherapy plays a lifelong role in cerebral palsy care, from early childhood development through to adult mobility and independence. We offer both clinic-based and mobile physiotherapy, recognising that travel can be genuinely difficult for many clients and families.
