25.01.2022 Here at Lucinda Kids Physio we rely on the most current evidence to provide honest and accurate advice to you and your family. But before we jump into some fun physio info we should introduce ourselves... My name is Sam and my kids (nearly 4 and nearly 2) hate posing for photos! No photos! has become their team motto I get a little too competitive at social basketball and wish I could get to yoga a little more often I love working with kids and their families. ...From listening with a sympathetic ear to the sleep deprived new parents to watching the big kids achieve their goals, its so rewarding Elkes turn next... . . . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #physiotherapy #paediatrics #newcastlepaediatrics #evidencebasedpractice #physio

25.01.2022 Is anyone else ready for summer to come back now? When all you need for some beautiful gross motor play is a stretch of (socially distanced) sand and a very cooperative seagull . .... . . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #physiotherapy #physio #paediatrics #newy #raisinghealthychildren #activekids See more

23.01.2022 My turn! My name is Elke and this is my gorgeous daughter (now 7). Unlike Sams kids, she likes nothing more than to strike a pose for a photo! We love heading outdoors to go adventuring, whether it be the beach, bush walking or going bike riding. I love working with babies, children and their families to live their best possible lives and watch them achieve their goals! . .... . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #physiotherapy #paediatrics #newcastlepaediatrics #physio See more

16.01.2022 Do you sometimes find yourself comparing your little one to the other kids at play group/daycare/pre-school? Dont worry, weve all been there and it seems to create a unique brand of stress for parents no matter what age your little one is. The important thing to remember is that developmental milestones describe a normal range with often wide variability (swipe to see WHO windows of gross motor attainment). Our little people are unique individuals with all sorts of factors... influencing their development including genetics, personality and their social environment. Take Sams kiddies achieving rolling for example (see our Instagram post for videos). Mr A was an energetic 3 month old who would roll under the couch if you looked away for too long. Miss R was a very healthy 6 month old who was much more interested in smiling and socialising than rolling theres no comparing them! Two very different little people in the normal range. In saying all of this, parents gut instincts are key so if you have any concerns about your little ones development or would just like an expert to cast an eye over them speak to your GP or book in to see us #lucindakidsphysio #paedsphysiotherapy #raisinghealthychildren #newcastlepaediatrics #paeds #darbystreet

08.01.2022 Did you know that we need to protect these gorgeous little heads? (Throwback pic to Sams eldest in a classic baby pose ) Plagiocephaly is a common craniofacial (skull and face) problem that describes a misshapen, flat or asymmetrical head shape (swipe for an example). Why does this happen? Because newborn skull bones are soft, thin and flexible so that they can grow and change shape easily. Flattening can happen when bubs spend lots of time on their backs, not only sl...eeping but also in car seats, capsules, prams, baby swings and bouncer seats. Since the introduction of the Back to Sleep campaign in 1992 plagiocephaly has been on the rise and current prevalence is estimated at around 22% at 7 weeks of age. Its important to place your baby on their backs to sleep from birth to reduce the incidence of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and we need to talk about how we can protect our kids head shapes from the get go! Luckily for us the Ministry of Health has recently released a shiny new guideline full of the most current evidence based recommendations to guide best management and reduce the incidence So what can you do? Sleep time: ensure you place your bub on their back to sleep but you can alternate their head position and the end of the cot/bassinet that you place them in. Play time: when your bub is awake and supervised its important to spend time on tummies and in sidelying play (more to come on that later!) Carrying, holding and feeding: alternate alternate! We often get very comfortable doing things on our stronger side but its important to vary positions to allow bubs to practice turning their heads to both sides. If youve noticed that your little one seems to have a preference to look one way compared to the other or youre worried about their head shape were here to help! . . . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #paedsphysio #physiotherapy #newcastlepaediatrics #plagiocephaly #plagio

05.01.2022 WHAT a smile This adorable little lady was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) when she was one week old. Both of her hips were found to be dislocatable on her newborn hip check. DDH is a condition that affects 1-2 in every 1000 babies. Its more common in girls, firstborn children, babies carried and born in the breech position (bottom first) and in families with a history of DDH. Treatment aims to place the hips in the most ideal position (wide froggy... position ) to allow the hip joint and surrounding tissues to develop and mature. The exact type of treatment required depends on the severity of the condition and the age of diagnosis. Because DDH can develop in the weeks and months after birth its important to keep checking hips at health appointments over the first 12 months. Remember to keep the legs loose if you wrap your baby so the hips and knees can bend up and out into that beautiful froggy position . . . . . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #physiotherapy #paediatrics #newcastlephysio #ddh #hipdysplasia #hipcheck #hipdysplasiaawareness #hipdysplasiababy #developmentalplay

01.01.2022 Tummy time. In their first year of life, babies learn to lift their heads, roll over, sit, crawl and stand. Tummy time helps babies strengthen the neck and upper body muscles that they need to hold their head up and move around. This is a building block to build the strength they need for crawling and pulling to stand when they are older.... If your baby doesnt like tummy time on the floor, try tummy time on your chest, on your lap or over a rolled up towel. Start tummy time soon after birth for 1-2 minutes a few times a day. . . . . . #lucindakidsphysio #kidsphysio #physiotherapy #newcastlephysio #paediatrics #developmentalplay #tummytime #tummyplay #babydevelopment
