SDR Rehabilitation Services

Pre- and Post-Operative SDR Programmes

We provide dynamic, enjoyable programmes for children before and after Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery. Each session is tailored to target the areas your child needs most while supporting overall development, wellbeing, and independence.

Post-Operative Programmes

After SDR surgery, our programmes help children regain confidence and control as they learn to organise their body after surgical changes. Sessions focus on:

  • Posture, balance, and flexibility

  • Coordination and proprioception

  • Walking technique and movement transitions

  • Rebuilding sensory awareness and integration

  • Self-care and independence skills

  • Life-enhancing abilities in everyday activities

Our holistic approach considers the whole child—body, mind, and personality—ensuring development is meaningful and lasting.

Pre-Operative Programmes

Before surgery, our programmes help children build strength, stamina, and confidence. They prepare children for recovery and support independence. Benefits include:

  • Increased strength, balance, and coordination

  • Improved range of motion, independent standing, and walking

  • Enhanced hand function and weight transference skills

  • Support for mental wellbeing, adaptability, and social skills

Children engage in dynamic, structured tasks and activities based on the Pető System, strengthening muscles, improving coordination, and boosting overall health. These activities also promote better breathing, digestion, sleep, and stress management.
