OUR TREATMENTS

1.png

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a recreational therapy that uses water-based exercises to help improve a person’s physical function and wellbeing. Hydrotherapy is a recognised and valuable method for treating individuals with cerebral palsy and is commonly used as a method of rehabilitation.

Electrotherapy Muscle Stimulation

Electrical stimulation may lead to increases in muscle strength and motor function. Electrical stimulation is provided by Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Unit which is portable, non-invasive and can be used in the clinic or at home by a therapist or parent.

Strength and Conditioning

Strength and conditioning aims to stimulate and re-activate the musculoskeletal system, strength develop, and re-educate children in gross and fine motor skills, developing a greater understanding of movement problems and finding appropriate solutions.

Vibration Plate Training

Whole-body vibration is a therapeutic practice where an individual stands, sits, or lies on a machine with a vibrating platform, transmitting vibration frequencies to the body, eliciting muscle contractions by stimulating muscle spindles and motor neurons.

Sports Therapy

Sport therapy support utilises sports and exercise principles and advanced therapy techniques, to optimally develop physical qualities in children with cerebral palsy, with the aim of progressing the child’s overall physical capacity.

Sports Massage

Sports massage treatment has many proven benefits for children with cerebral palsy or associated neurological conditions. Sport Massage therapy treatment enhances the strength and conditioning provision, working synergistically towards a more functional movement solution.

I don't know how she does it but Rhiannon at @sdrrehabuk always brings the fun (and a little bit of magic ✨) to Cleos training sessions. I tried to capture some of the interactions inbetween the training that are just as important as the training itself. These moments build engagement, trust and makes it enjoyable. She manages to keep Cleo engaged throughout our two 45 minutes #strengthandconditioning sessions and the fun brings the best of out of Cleo too. What a great team we have to stand alongside us in this journey! #spg4 #hereditaryspasticparaplegia #raredisease #disabilityawareness

💙 Strength & Conditioning: More Than Just Exercise Strength & conditioning is both a science and an art. Research helps us understand how children get stronger, develop motor skills and build confidence. But great outcomes don’t come from evidence alone—they come from understanding the child in front of us. At SDR Rehab UK, we believe every child deserves an individual approach. We adapt our coaching to each child’s personality, goals and learning style, creating sessions that are engaging, meaningful and fun. Because at the end of the day, children won’t remember every set and repetition. They’ll remember how you made them feel, whether they believed in themselves and whether they wanted to come back. 💙 We coach the child in front of us—not just the programme. #SDRRehabUK #StrengthAndConditioning #PaediatricRehab #CerebralPalsy #MotorLearning ChildCentredCare MovementMatters EvidenceBasedPractice NeuroRehabilitation InclusiveCoaching

Working really hard to learn how to jump, taking off with both feet. Bethany’s right side weakness often means that the left side over compensates and takes over! This happens when jumping. Bethany is working with Niamh to strengthen her right leg to help with this. The resistance bands help to encourage her right leg and foot to take off. It takes a lot of getting used to and control- so practice practice practice !!! #strengthandconditioning #thisgirlcan #cp #sdrrehabuk #cpgirlsfootball

Another great session @sdrrehabuk. Bethany worked really hard and was full of energy for her session. Her squats are improving massively and the amount of weight she is lifting is increasing. Bethanys grip in her right hand is getting stronger and this was noticeable in the sled push/pulls. In the break Bethany & Niamh dressed at Nemo and Dory and did an Easter egg hunt (chicks & bunnies are over-used this time of year!!) - the costumes stayed on for the rest of the session (not sure who enjoyed it more….. you can judge!! WHO ENJOYED DRESSING UP MORE? thisgirlcan #bubbasbeefcakes #strengthandconditioning #cpgirlsfootball
