Services
Our normal treatment programme starts with an assessment of the child, to determine the nature of the problem and the potential for improvement. It then continues with a course of Targeted Training™, if appropriate, and continual assessment of progress.
Foundation
The Movement Centre is the operating arm of The Movement Foundation. The Centre provides treatment for children. The Foundation provides the charitable support, raises funds, and is the overarching management structure.
Case Studies
We present a number of case studies to illustrate the approach that we take and to demonstrate the level of improvement that can be achieved in suitable cases.
Support us
Some of our patients receive funding from the NHS but we are not an NHS body and cannot help children to greater mobility without contributions from others. Please consider making a donation, however small, or perhaps you might consider a legacy?

The Movement Centre team have won national recognition for their pioneering work at the prestigious Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Awards in London.
Targeted Training was recognised at the profession-wide ceremony attended by over 100 physiotherapists from across the country. Dr Helena Johnson, chair of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy said ‘The awards recognise physiotherapists who have shown innovation and excellence to provide even better services for patients. Dr Butler demonstrated both of those quailities in abundance and thoroughly deserves her recognition.’
Dr Penny Butler goes on to say ‘We are delighted that the work our team does here has been recognised. It is a great honour and we have a superb team. The whole thing has been a wonderful team effort.’

The family of a child who attends The Movement Centre for Targeted Training therapy has generously donated £10,005. Bob Robins, grandfather of Eden Robins (aged 4) raised the funds through his Redditch based company Reddispares Ltd.
Employees at Reddispares Ltd spent a year organising and taking part in events to raise the whooping £10,005. Bob explained that the generosity of some people was overwhelming and that everybody wanted to help raise money for such a worthwhile cause.
The fundraising came about because Eden’s family were so impressed with the work of The Movement Centre and the progress that Eden had made that they wanted to give something back to say thank you.
Only half of the children who come to The Movement Centre are NHS funded so this money will be of tremendous help and it will mean that children who may not have had any funding can now have the opportunity that Eden has had.
Fundraising through the families of children is so important and will become ever more so in the future. It doesn’t have to be a huge sum, a donation of any size is a big help and is always gratefully received. The Movement Centre depends of the generosity of people like the Robins family and the employees of Reddispares Ltd.
