I have cerebral palsy. can getting regular physical therapy help me to lose weight and even tighten my stomach?

Would highly recommend physical therapy and an exercise program for virtually any neuromuscular condition, but generically, it would indeed help you to deal with issues secondary to cerebral palsy. Sometimes BOTOX and/ or bracing may be used as a tool to facilitate PT. A dietary program likely should be added to this. Wish you great success.
