CardioFlex is proud to support the upcoming Charity Tennis Tournament in Key Biscayne to benefit Cerebral Palsy. Physical therapy is often the first step in treating cerebral palsy and we see first hand what physical therapy can do for patients with CP: it can help improve motor skills and can prevent movement problems from getting worse over time. Physical therapy implements strength and flexibility exercises, heat treatment, massages and special equipment to give individuals with cerebral palsy more independence, as reported by the Cerebral Palsy Guide.
The extent to which physical therapy helps depends on the severity and type of each case of cerebral palsy. Individuals with milder cases of CP may only require some physical therapy to treat their condition. In more severe cases, it may be used alongside other treatments or medications. Beginning physical therapy as early as possible usually gives them the best chances at improvement.
