Cerebral palsy therapy is a treatment option for this condition, which is often brought on by complications at the time of birth. The therapy options for children who suffer from the condition are numerous and may include physical therapy. Some children also require and respond to speech and language therapy programs. It is important to note that many children who have the condition have normal intellect, though some on the other side of the spectrum do have some levels of mental retardation. Other therapy options include occupational therapy, for the development of fine motor skills as well as to improve daily living. Feldenkrais is a body awareness methodology that is often in use to help patients to learn how to hold and to properly move their body. Swimming and horseback riding are two additional methods of therapy that aid some children.
