Cerebellar ataxia & balance disorders

Finding steadiness.

When coordination and balance are hard-won, every confident step counts. For cerebellar ataxia and balance disorders we train coordination, postural control and steadiness through active, playful, measured therapy.

What it is

Ataxia, in plain terms.

Cerebellar ataxia describes disorders of motor coordination and postural control linked to the cerebellum — showing up as uncoordinated movement, gait unsteadiness and dysmetria (over- or under-shooting a target).

We build coordination, balance and trunk control with active loading, patterning and graded challenge — dosed and measured around your child’s exact picture and goals.

Subtypes we work with

Presentations we work with.

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 ataxia toolkit

Methods that build steadiness.

DMI — motor mapping

Dynamic Movement Intervention drives automatic motor responses and new movement patterns.

About DMI

CME — gravity reaction

Cuevas MEDEK Exercise trains the child's reaction to gravity and postural control.

TheraSuit — alignment

A suit system that improves alignment and loads the body for active, intensive work.

Galileo — activation

Gentle vibration wakes up and strengthens muscles before and during therapy.

How we work with it

Deep, hands-on coordination work.

We grade coordination and balance challenge precisely — active loading, trunk control and postural work — in focused blocks, tracked with objective measures so progress is visible.

No generic templates. Every plan is built around one child’s specific coordination profile and goals — and rebuilt as they grow.

How we measure progress

Ataxia questions, answered

What ataxia parents ask us.

Can balance and coordination really improve?

Yes — graded, repetition-rich active practice builds steadier movement. We measure baseline and progress and set functional goals together.

Is the therapy safe if my child falls a lot?

We grade challenge carefully and use support and suspension so your child can work at the edge of their ability, safely.

Will steadier balance carry over to walking and play?

Yes — we train coordination in functional, play-based tasks, so gains show up in everyday life, not just in session. We set and track real-world goals with you.

Will insurance help fund it?

Often, via Krankenkasse or IV/AI pathways. See insurance & funding — 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.
