At Solihull Osteopathic Practice, we understand how important it is for families to find the right support for their child with cerebral palsy (CP). That’s why we provide physiotherapy for children with cerebral palsy that is tailored, compassionate, and focused on long-term development. One of the specialist approaches we offer is MAES Therapy (Movement Analysis & Education Strategies) — designed specifically for children with neurological conditions like CP.
Why Physiotherapy for Children with Cerebral Palsy Matters
Cerebral palsy affects every child differently, but it often leads to challenges with:
-
Muscle stiffness or weakness
-
Posture and mobility
-
Coordination and balance
-
Motor skill development
Because CP is lifelong, the right physiotherapy for children with cerebral palsy is essential to support mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Traditional Physiotherapy vs. MAES Therapy
Standard physiotherapy for cerebral palsy often focuses on stretching, strengthening, and repetitive exercises. While helpful, these approaches don’t always address how a child learns to move.
MAES Therapy is different. It looks at each child’s movement patterns and creates opportunities for them to explore and discover more effective ways of moving. This approach is playful, interactive, and tailored to the child’s unique abilities.
Benefits of MAES Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
In our sessions, MAES Therapy may help children with CP to:
-
Improve posture and stability
-
Develop better balance and coordination
-
Gain confidence in their movements
-
Build independence in everyday activities
This means that physiotherapy for children with cerebral palsy can go beyond physical strength — it can empower children to participate more fully in daily life.
