Hi, I am Alex and live with Cerebral Palsy (CP). It affects my fine and gross motor skills. I use a wheelchair, an adapted bike and a walker for mobility.

I’ve had many surgeries including many leg surgeries, hand surgery, eye surgeries, to help my body work better. My left hand works better because of the surgery on it. My eyes are in better alignment now after having surgeries as I did have crossed eyes or strabismus when I was born. I think the surgeries were worth it because now I can use a walker to walk.

I have spastic cerebral palsy which means my muscles tend to be stiff so I do a lot of physiotherapy including stretching and strengthening to help my body stay limber and strong. I think exercising is important for everyone but especially for people with cerebral palsy.

I am a very active person. I’ve listed a few exercises on my website that I do everyday to help my body. You are welcome to try them too. I think it is important and can be fun to workout.
