Cerebral palsy
Not a limit — a starting line.
Living with CP means navigating muscle tone, spasticity and hard-won motor milestones. We've walked this road with many families — and we shift the story from permanent limitation to active, functional gains.
What it is
Cerebral palsy, in plain terms.
Cerebral palsy is an early-childhood, non-progressive brain injury that affects movement, muscle tone and posture. It isn't one single condition — it shows up differently in every child, and it doesn't get worse over time. What changes is what we build on top of it.
We work across all CP subtypes. Therapy combines DMI, TheraSuit / PediaSuit / NeroSuit, Bamboo Brace for hemiplegic upper-limb work, Spidercage suspension and Apexi Serial Casting — dosed and measured around one child's exact tone, range and goals.
Subtypes we work with
Every type of CP.
We have hands-on experience with the variants named below — and with many rare types that don't fit neatly into any of them. If your child's diagnosis isn't here, please reach out: we work with complex and rare cases every day.
The CP toolkit
Methods that counter CP's challenges.
DMI — motor mapping
Dynamic Movement Intervention drives automatic motor responses and new movement patterns.
About DMICME — gravity reaction
Cuevas MEDEK Exercise trains the child's reaction to gravity and postural control.
Ask about CMETheraSuit — alignment
A suit system that improves alignment and loads the body for active, intensive work.
Ask about TheraSuitGalileo — activation
Gentle vibration wakes up and strengthens muscles before and during therapy.
Ask about GalileoHow we work with it
Deep, hands-on CP experience.
We work with children across the GMFCS levels, adapting intensity and equipment to each child. Our protocols centre on intensive active loading, active patterning and custom alignment — practised in focused blocks and tracked with objective measures, so progress is visible.
We don't rely on generic templates. Every CP plan is built around the specific tone, range and goals of one child — and rebuilt as they grow.
CP questions, answered
The things CP parents ask us.
How do you manage fluctuating tone during therapy?
We read your child's tone in the moment and adapt — activation, alignment and rest are sequenced so we're always working with the body, not against it.
How often should we do intensive blocks?
It depends on the child and goals — many CP families do periodic intensive blocks with weekly or virtual therapy in between. We'll recommend a rhythm at assessment.
Can we integrate home gear (suits, standers)?
Yes — we coordinate with your home equipment and therapists so the work continues between visits.
Will insurance help fund it?
Often, via Krankenkasse or IV/AI pathways. See insurance & funding — and our parent liaison helps with the paperwork.
Not quite a match?
Doesn't your child fit this profile?
We work with all kinds of children. If your child's condition or diagnosis isn't exactly what's described here, reach out anyway — we'll happily answer your questions, and we look forward to speaking with you.
