Recognised for cerebral palsy management and long-term CP patient care | 13+ years | Hyderabad
Experience with CP children of all ages and adults — spastic, athetoid, and mixed types.
As early as possible — ideally from infancy when a diagnosis or risk is identified. Early intervention during the brain's most plastic phase (birth to 5 years) gives the best results. However, physiotherapy benefits CP patients at all ages, including adults.
For young children with active development goals, 4–5 times a week is ideal. For school-age children and adults, 3–4 times a week is typical. Consistency over months and years is key for CP management.
Yes. Physiotherapy for CP adults focuses on maintaining function, reducing spasticity, preventing secondary complications (contractures, pain), and adapting to life changes. Without regular therapy, adults with CP often experience functional decline.
CP therapy is most effective when integrated into daily routines — feeding, bathing, playing, walking. Home therapy allows Dr. Anwaruddin to work in the real environment, teach parents correct handling, and make therapy part of everyday life rather than a separate clinic visit.
Post-Botox physiotherapy is essential. Botox temporarily reduces spasticity, but without intensive physiotherapy in the 4–8 weeks after injection, the benefit is lost. Dr. Anwaruddin provides intensive post-Botox rehabilitation programmes.
Progress is measured by functional milestones — improved head control, sitting, standing, quality of movement, reduced spasticity, and daily living tasks. Dr. Anwaruddin sets clear goals and reviews progress with families regularly.
