Motor Rehabilitation Program
Specialized bodywork and motor therapy programs to improve mobility, balance, and coordination in people with cerebral palsy and developmental delays.
Modality Overview & Mechanism
Specialized bodywork and motor therapy programs to improve mobility, balance, and coordination in people with cerebral palsy. Directed by Dr. Nishi Bhatt, our Pediatric Motor Rehabilitation Program combines advanced neurological stimulation, cranial acupuncture, myofascial release, and progressive functional movement training to enhance joint stability, regulate spasticity, and train gross and fine motor milestones in children with cerebral palsy and developmental motor delays.
Treatment Process & Session Structure
- Baseline Gross Motor Function Classification (GMFCS) and milestone charting.
- Targeted cranial acupuncture points combined with myofascial tone facilitation.
- Step-by-step motor retraining (head control, rolling, crawling, supported standing).
- Parental education for daily home movement stimulation.
Clinical Benefits & Expected Outcomes
- Promotes cortical neuroplastic reorganization and motor firing
- Down-regulates muscle hypertonia and spastic contractures
- Accelerates milestone achievement in infants and children (head control, rolling, sitting, standing)
- Improves posture, gait stability, and functional mobility
Patient Suitability & Indications
Children and adults with Cerebral Palsy, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), hypotonia, and motor milestone delays.
Pre-Treatment Preparation Guidelines
Bring recent developmental reports. Ensure the child is rested and fed before the session.
Post-Treatment Aftercare & Recovery
