Stroke & sequelae

Rebuilding, step by step.

After a paediatric stroke — perinatal or in childhood — the young brain is remarkably ready to relearn. With intensive, repetition-rich active therapy we help children reclaim movement, strength and confidence on the affected side.

What it is

Stroke, in plain terms.

A stroke is an acute interruption of the brain’s blood supply — ischaemic or haemorrhagic. In children it often leaves hemiparesis, spasticity, and sensory or neuropsychological changes on one side of the body.

The opportunity is plasticity: with high-repetition active loading and patterning — DMI, suit therapy, Spidercage suspension, NISE-Stim — young brains rewire. We dose and measure every step around your child’s exact deficits and goals.

Subtypes we work with

Patterns 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.

Perinatal (neonatal) stroke Childhood arterial ischaemic stroke Haemorrhagic stroke Hemiparesis / one-sided weakness Post-stroke spasticity Sensory & neuropsychological sequelae

The stroke toolkit

Methods that rebuild after stroke.

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.

Ask about CME

TheraSuit — alignment

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

Ask about TheraSuit

Galileo — activation

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

How we work with it

Deep, hands-on stroke rehab.

We build intensive, repetition-rich programmes around the affected side — active loading, constraint-style upper-limb work and patterning — practised in focused blocks and tracked with objective measures.

No generic templates. Every plan is built around one child’s specific deficits, age and goals — and rebuilt as they recover and grow.

How we measure progress

Stroke questions, answered

What stroke parents ask us.

How soon after a stroke can active therapy start?

As soon as your child is medically stable. Early, well-dosed active work helps the brain reorganise — we coordinate timing with your medical team.

Will the weaker side improve?

Often, yes — with intensive, repetition-rich work. We measure baseline and progress so gains are visible, and set realistic, functional goals together.

How often should we do intensive blocks?

Many stroke families do periodic intensive blocks with weekly or virtual therapy in between. We’ll recommend a rhythm at assessment.

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.
