The Movement Centre is a UK charity and specialist treatment centre. We are dedicated to supporting children and their families living with movement disabilities.
We have a small but dedicated team who work closely with families. We provide a specialist therapy called Targeted Training to help children gain movement control. Targeted Training therapy can enable children to develop new skills and become far more independent. This can have a huge impact on their life. It can also make a big difference to the lives of their family and friends.
Through a course of Targeted Training therapy children can gain head control, so they can interact with their family; it can help children develop the skills to sit unaided, so that they can play with their friends. For some children it can enable them to walk, which means they can be far more independent!
Many of the children who come to The Movement Centre have Cerebral Palsy or Global Developmental Delay, but Targeted Training therapy can also be suitable for children who have an acquired brain injury, Down Syndrome and other Genetic Disorders. We work closely with families and the course of therapy is tailored to each child’s specific needs.
If you would like to access Targeted Training at The Movement Centre it is best to contact us via telephone, email or through our website. We can then arrange for you to have an initial discussion with one of our specialist Physiotherapists. They will be able to talk to you about whether or not Targeted Training might be of benefit to your child.
Children can be referred to The Movement Centre in the following ways:
- Self-referred by a parent or carer
- Referred by a healthcare professional (for example your child’s Consultant, GP, or Physiotherapists)
If we believe Targeted Training therapy may benefit your child you will be invited to a free Initial Appointment to determine if it is suitable. We will only accept your child onto a course of therapy if we believe it may help them gain movement control.

We Could see the therapy help our son get stronger before our eyes. It’s not an easy, quick fix but it works and it’s been life changing for Leo.
The Staff at TMC are experienced and extremely knowledgeable. They had an amazing bond with our daughter during her sessions which made the assessments enjoyable for her and stress free. The Targeted Training advice made it easy to carry out at home and we felt well supported anytime we had questions. Orlaith benefitted greatly from Targeted Training, we received excellent support from the staff.
Unlike any other physical appointment. Welcomes with a hot drink, not rushed. Charlie doesn’t associate The Movement Centre with hospital, as there are lots of toys and play during the assessment.
