Our services for the rehabilitation of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a collective term used to describe non-progressive neurological disorders that affect physical function. Our Speech and language therapists can help with difficulties arising from cerebral palsy such as; speech, communication, eating, drinking and swallowing.
Our speech and language therapists can help individuals who have cerebral palsy with attention and listening problems, communication problems, voice and speech problems.
Rehab Care, our process begins with a comprehensive initial assessment by one of our experienced speech and language therapists at our DHA Lahore clinic. This assessment identifies concerns related to communication, eating, drinking, or swallowing, while also giving you the opportunity to share your observations and discuss any worries in detail.
Our therapy programs are personalized and results-driven, designed to address each client’s unique needs. These may include:
Detailed assessments and progress reports
Regular reviews and tailored therapy plans
Support groups and caregiver collaboration
Professional training and expert guidance
Treatment at Rehab Care will be specific to the individual’s needs and abilities. Types of treatment for individuals with cerebral palsy can include:
At Rehab Care, we deliver physiotherapy services to children and youth, from birth to 16 years of age. Our pediatric physiotherapy services include a comprehensive assessment of a child’s gross motor function and posture, including strength, posture, gait, flexibility, balance, coordination and sensory processing.
Our treatment aims are to target weak muscles and teach you how to strengthen them, give advice and education on your posture and postures you may need support with, help you to stretch and increase mobility if joints that may be tight and support you with exercise therapy.
Rehab Care, DHA Lahore, we develop personalized treatment plans based on the goals identified during the initial assessment. Our no-waiting-list policy means appointments can be scheduled promptly at our specialized rehabilitation center.
Our ultimate goal is to enhance quality of life for you or your child while maximising physical independence. Every step of our therapy is designed to empower individuals, support progress, and promote lasting improvements in daily living.
Physiotherapists have a large role in the management of cerebral palsy symptoms. Physiotherapy interventions aim to target the specific motor symptoms of cerebral palsy and reduce long term complications.
Our expert physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to help individuals with cerebral palsy improve mobility, posture, and independence. These strategies include:
Bobath Technique – Facilitating normal movement patterns in rolling, crawling, and walking.
Sensory & Motor Integration Training – Enhancing the brain’s ability to process and respond to different types, qualities, and intensities of sensory information.
Functional Electric Stimulation (FES) – Applying controlled electrical currents to increase muscle strength and function.
Stretching – Using passive and active methods to lengthen shortened muscles; in collaboration with orthotists and occupational therapists, we promote serial casting and splinting to maintain flexibility and prevent contractures.
Functional Training – Incorporating everyday tasks to support motor recovery, mobility, and stretching.
Strengthening Exercises – Building muscle strength to enhance movement control and posture.
Gait Training – Using techniques such as body weight–supported treadmill therapy, manual facilitation, and orthoses to promote walking ability.
Universal Cage Therapy – Employing the Universal Exercise Unit (or “spider cage”) for intensive strengthening, range of motion exercises, and dynamic movement using elastic cords for support in any position.
Occupational therapy (OT) is an integral part of a Cerebral Palsy patient’s overall treatment program. The goal of occupational therapy is to promote a child’s ability to perform daily rituals and activities in a way that will enhance their quality of life and make possible the enjoyment of independent living.
During occupational therapy, our skilled therapists work closely with each individual to help them adapt, compensate and achieve the highest possible level of independence. We carefully consider physical abilities and limitations, cognitive skills such as reasoning and processing, emotional needs and goals, and the individual’s readiness to adapt and compensate. The home environment and available support system are also key factors in designing a personalized therapy plan, ensuring that progress continues beyond our rehabilitation center.
Occupational therapy is a form of therapeutic intervention. The goal of therapy is to ensure a child achieves the highest level of functional performance within their home, school, public and work environments. Occupational therapy employs adaptive processes to teach a child to perform tasks required in the normal course of a day.
This is accomplished by focusing on:
Everyday tasks – the ones an occupational therapist will focus on – can test a child’s physical and emotional resources. These tasks include:
Our behavioral therapists work with children to help them overcome feelings of inadequacy and lack of purpose. Through supportive and structured sessions, we focus on building their self-worth, instilling positive values, and fostering a sense of accomplishment. Children learn to process their emotions, develop effective communication skills, and improve their self-image. By nurturing healthy relationships and encouraging emotional bonding, we empower them to find purpose, fulfillment, and confidence in their daily interactions.
