Hi, i have Spastic Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy and have started to get pain in my back and neck for around 4 months. i was wondering if this is related to CP or potentially something else?

I've seen others with CP say that pain and tension can get worse as you age but I don't really have any experience @MattLeeds, sorry!! Do you have a doctor you see regularly?
@Richard_Scope might have some advice for you maybe

Hi @MattLeeds
The muscle tightness we experience due to our spasticity and the way we move can cause neck and back pain, especially for people with hemiplegia.
Stretching and physiotherapy can help alleviate the pain and tightness.
Our partners, Bobath are running a Zoom event to discuss this. You will be sent a recording if you register for the event but can't attend on the day.
