Cerebral palsy girl can play at last after pioneering treatment

Since Holly Needham, 2, started the treatment her family have noticed great improvements in her strength and posture.

A brave youngster with cerebral palsy has seen her condition significantly improve after undergoing pioneering treatment.

Holly Needham, of Castleton, Rochdale, was born with periventricular leukomalacia, brain damage which causes severe problems in her mobility and development.

But since Holly, aged two, started a treatment known as ABR therapy, her family have noticed great improvements in her strength and posture. She is now able to play, hold toys and eat, whereas before she was fed through a tube.

Mum Sarah said: Holly is doing great after the treatment.

She is taking more food now and more by mouth. She can hold her own weight now and can even move her legs to walk.

She is doing so well and is as happy as ever.

We cant believe how far she has come in the past year.

She is looking so grown up now.

I didnt think she would make it this far.
