Hello, we are in process of having our little girl diagnosed with cp. she’s 10 months old. This is all very new and at times has been quite overwhelming. I’m interested in optimising her therapy and am trying to research how to find best physios and OTs etc locally. Is there a good database? We are just south of cambridge.
Thank you
Anna

Hi @annawinter, best of luck with your search. There's some more information on physiotherapy for Cerebral Palsy (both NHS and private), including a search function, on this page. Let us know how you get on!

The Bobath Centre in London (private but therapy is sometimes funded by health) is a specialist in CP. https://www.bobath.org.uk/
My son has gone there since he was 13 months old We live in the north and so go/went for 2 week blocks initially twice a year then once a year or every 2 years. He is now 19. If you can travel there easily then they do hour long appointments too.
