Trishla Foundation

The organisation's treatment approach for cerebral palsy involves a multidisciplinary team comprising various specialists like neuro-paediatricians, pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, therapists, educators, and nutritionists. It emphasizes physiotherapy as a primary treatment but also explores modalities like specialized surgery and botulinum toxin injections. Stem cell therapy, although under research, isn't yet proven for CP treatment worldwide. Medication aims at managing associated symptoms like epilepsy, while surgeries address spasticity and contracture. Orthopaedic procedures focus on joint and bone issues, avoiding routine surgeries that may harm severely affected patients. Alternative treatments such as yoga, sports, and alternative medicine are explored, alongside managing associated conditions like epilepsy, vision and speech problems. The goal remains to manage and limit disability, improving the child's quality of life within the constraints of cerebral palsy.

The organisation's cerebral palsy physiotherapy programme employs traditional and advanced therapies, emphasizing neuroplasticity and natural developmental patterns. Traditional methods like stretching often prove harmful, while advanced techniques like strength training, NDT, SI, CIMT, and yoga are tailored to each child after careful clinical assessment. Physiotherapy, along with aids and braces, aims to enhance independence and milestones. Additionally, yoga-inspired practices, including body postures and breathing exercises, strengthen muscles, improve coordination, and promote overall well-being in children with cerebral palsy.

The therapy programme by the organisation focuses on aiding children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) through various specialized therapies. It encompasses Physical Therapy, which enhances muscle endurance and strength, incorporating methods like NDT, SI, and strength training. Occupational Therapy helps with daily activities, fine muscle training, and improving routine tasks. Speech & Language Therapy addresses speech difficulties and oral muscle control, aiding better communication and swallowing. These therapies aim to improve physical movements, daily living skills, and verbal communication, emphasizing early intervention for optimal outcomes in children with CP.
