Movement Centre

To provide Targeted Training for children with cerebral palsy, Targeted Training mimics the natural development of control, using a specially designed standing frame which is made in the hospital workshop. Each frame is tailored and adjusted to the child’s specific requirements. The frame goes home with the child so they can repeat their exercises daily, taught by the physiotherapists, which the parents commit to.
