At four months of age, Charlotte Hendricks from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Her parents were worried that she would neither be able to move nor walk properly. Charlotte had difficulty in sitting up on her own and was fearful of most types of movement. In order to address her condition, she started undergoing regular Physiotherapy sessions at a local hospital.
A few months ago, Charlotte had started taking her first steps with the aid of a walker. Today, at 19 months of age, she is literally, making strides towards walking on her own. Charlotte’s parents are enthused by the progress their child is making through Physiotherapy.
Currently, Cerebral Palsy is the most prevalent motor disability found in children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, population-based studies from around the globe pegs the incidence of CP from 1.5 to 4 for every 1000 births. The condition has a detrimental effect on muscle control, coordination, tone, reflexes, as well as varying motor skills and speech. The effects of this condition carry on into adulthood and greatly hamper quality of life of an individual.
Physiotherapy treatment serves as front-line intervention for Cerebral Palsy. Undergoing PT Treatment mitigates movement problems that are commonly experienced at various levels by patients. Physiotherapy also provides the added benefit of a reduced likelihood of complications and complete disability. By undergoing a well-executed Physiotherapy regimen, patients diagnosed with CP are able to improve overall function and health. For younger patients, this can mean making progress towards experiencing regular daily activities and a normal childhood. For many sufferers of CP however, Physiotherapy is not enough.
While Physiotherapy is a large part of any attempt to address Cerebral Palsy, it works best when implemented alongside other complementary forms of treatment.

He has started to speak more and he had gained a stronger appetite as well. He gained increased strength in his legs and body which has allowed him to better hold his weight for a longer period.
