The Movement Centre

Based in Shropshire, The Movement Centre is a charity providing a specialist therapy for children, called Targeted Training.

The children who come to The Movement Centre have a disability that affects their movement control, such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome or Global Developmental Delay. This means they may be unable to lift their head, to sit without support or find it challenging to stand or take their first steps.

Targeted Training draws on specialist physiotherapy and bioengineering. It has been developed at The Movement Centre over the last 20 years, using clinical trials, audit and research. It is different from other therapies because it works by placing a child in an upright position and it uses specialist equipment to provide stability and support.
