Cerebral Palsy and the Role of Exercise
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement and muscle coordination. While it cannot be cured, exercise can play a significant role in improving the quality of life for those living with CP. As an NDIS Exercise Physiologist, I am committed to helping individuals with cerebral palsy achieve their physical potential and enhance their well-being.
