An introduction to The Movement Centre

Q&A with The Movement Centre
The Movement Centre is a UK charity and specialist treatment
centre based in Oswestry, Shropshire that works to support disabled children
living with conditions that can impact movement control, such as:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Global Developmental Delay
- Down’s Syndrome
They work closely with families to provide children with targeted training therapy, which can support children towards gaining control of their movement., learning new skills and developing independence. Like Scope, The Movement Centre believes that each and every child deserves equal access to education, technology and play time.
What is targeted training?
Targeted training involves using a specialised standing
frame to place the child in an upright position, giving them the appropriate
stability and support throughout the process.
Equipment is taken home, along with a specialist Programme, which gives guidance on how to deliver targeted training at home on a daily basis for 30 minutes.
It consists of a 12 month course, combining the use of a specialist standing frame and physiotherapy. It works by placing the child in an upright position and the standing frame provides stability and support. The support happens directly beneath the area where movement control is a challenge. As progress is made the level of support may be lowered. The process mirrors the way in which movement control is naturally developed; from the head downwards.
