What is cerebral palsy and how will this condition affect me?
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder affecting movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. It varies in severity, impacting mobility, coordination, cognition, and posture.
How can GNC help?
You may be experiencing high tone or a limb may have been fixed via surgery. While the medical management of cerebral palsy has evolved over the years, at GNC, we can still help our adult clients with CP achieve their goals, with our innovative therapies, specialised equipment, and close relationships with services like the spasticity clinic.
