Besides having therapeutic benefit, independent transfers has enabled develop his strength and stability; as well as promoted upper limb function.

Isaac's Journey

Isaac is a charming and inspirational young man with cerebral palsy. A multidisciplinary therapeutic intervention has been an integral part of his journey.

In 2019 Isaac underwent SDR surgery, spinal dorsal rhizotomy. This is an operation that reduces spasticity in children with CP.

Isaac received intensive physiotherapy from statutory services alongside targeted independent provision to maximise the outcome of the surgery. We were then able to follow his orthopaedic post-operative guidance and work alongside the NHS team to enable him to reach his target rehabilitation goals. We ensured working to his target potential whilst offering different adjutants, including hydrotherapy as well as land therapy and intervention within the educational set and at his home.

Isaac has made phenomenal progress with ongoing rehab. His determination and engagement with therapy have largely contributed to the progress he has made so far. With specific and targeted rehab, he has made meaningful physical and functional gains as well as improvement in his overall motor function.

To make clients feel as comfortable as possible, we offer home visits or arrange treatment at one of our community clinics at William Merritt Centre, Leeds, or a similar centre or location of your choice in your local community across the North West and Yorkshire, or we could arrange to see you at a suitable space within your community.

We appreciate our clients may have mobility restrictions and will always consider how to make consultations and treatments as convenient, time optimised and pain-free as possible. Community-based rehabilitation and integration back into the community is the key to any successful rehabilitation.
