Will cerebral palsy get worse with age?

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive condition, meaning the original brain injury does not worsen with age. However, the physical effects can change as a person grows. For example, muscle stiffness, joint problems, or fatigue may increase without therapy or support. Early and ongoing management helps reduce these secondary complications. Adults with CP may need ongoing physiotherapy, exercise programs, and medical support to maintain mobility and function.
