Helping clients with cerebral palsy: A personalised approach to independence and mobility

Empowering Lives at RMR Rehabilitation

At RMR, we are dedicated to supporting individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and those recovering from Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). Our goal is to help them achieve more than just physical improvement.

Our mission is to empower our clients to lead fuller and more independent lives. Recognising that each journey is unique, we design bespoke fitness and rehabilitation programs tailored to individual needs.

By working closely with physiotherapists, we ensure our approach complements clinical care. This supports physical development while fostering self-efficacy and emotional well-being throughout the rehabilitation process.

Who Are Our Clients?

At RMR, we serve clients of all ages, from children to adults. Each individual is living with CP or recovering from SDR. Our trainers are available across England and South Wales, providing care that is accessible to many.

Regardless of age or life stage, we tailor our services to fit each person’s unique needs and goals. We help them make meaningful progress and gain greater independence.

A Customised Approach for Enhanced Results

We believe every client deserves a plan specifically designed for them. Having worked with clients across the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) scale, we understand that challenges and priorities vary greatly.

Whether it’s reducing plantarflexion, improving walking and running, or addressing muscular imbalances in hemiplegic cases, we can help. Our focus on trunk control and range of motion aids in these endeavors.

We also implement axial loading exercises for clients who use wheelchairs frequently. This helps prevent secondary issues such as osteoporosis. We recognize the importance of a person-centered approach.

Understanding Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is a movement disorder. It affects muscle coordination and body movement. It may arise from abnormal brain development. Early intervention can greatly improve outcomes for those with CP. At RMR, we aim to provide that vital assistance.

Collaboration for Holistic Care

We place great value on interdisciplinary collaboration. Maintaining close working relationships with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and case managers is crucial. This ensures our programs align with clinical priorities.

By focusing on function and mobility, we aim to reduce spasticity and tightness. We enhance postural alignment and support the development of both gross and fine motor skills. This integrative approach provides clients with the best chance to thrive.

Supporting Physical and Emotional Well-being

True rehabilitation involves more than just the body—it must also nurture the mind. Our approach is designed to improve physical capabilities while fostering confidence and emotional resilience.

Engaging, achievable, and motivating sessions help clients feel more in control. We encourage a positive outlook on their progress. Exercise serves as an effective medium for developing self-efficacy.

By setting realistic goals, we help our clients experience success. This builds the belief that consistent effort leads to meaningful change. It influences their self-perception and extends benefits into various life aspects.

A Commitment to Long-Term Success

We take immense pride in our work. Our focus goes beyond short-term gains. We commit to long-term success by equipping clients with the skills and support they need. This helps them face life's challenges with confidence and independence.

Our team is dedicated to professional excellence. We engage in ongoing training and development to ensure the highest standard of care. This commitment enhances our service quality and client satisfaction.
