The Conditions Library
A plain-language guide to the conditions that affect movement, development, balance, and recovery. Understanding always comes before solutions — so we start by helping you make sense of things, gently and without jargon.
Every person here is more than a diagnosis. Our focus is on understanding, participation, and what genuinely helps.
Browse by condition
Open whichever fits your situation — each one leads to clear, reassuring guidance.
For children
Cerebral Palsy
A condition affecting movement and posture, caused by early differences in how the brain develops. We focus on what helps a child move and take part.
Developmental Delay
When a child reaches some milestones — like sitting, walking, or talking — later than usual. The right support often helps them progress.
Autism
A different way of experiencing the world, including movement and the senses. We take a supportive, strengths-based view.
Sensory Challenges
When everyday sights, sounds, or touch feel too much or too little — which can shape how a child moves and settles.
Coordination Difficulties
When everyday physical tasks — like catching, dressing, or handwriting — feel harder than expected. Playful practice helps.
For adults in recovery
Stroke
How the brain relearns movement after a stroke, and what supports recovery, step by step, over time.
Parkinson’s Disease
How movement, balance, and daily habits help people stay active and confident with Parkinson’s.
Balance Problems
Understanding dizziness and unsteadiness, and rebuilding steady, confident movement.
Falls Prevention
Practical ways to feel steadier and reduce the risk of falls, at home and out and about.
Fracture Recovery
Healing, rebuilding strength, and safely returning to the activities you enjoy after a fracture.
