24.01.2022 Melbournians have been advised to wear a mask if they leave their home and can’t safely distance. Here’s how to do it properly, care of WHO. Stay safe Melbourne! #stayingaparttogether

21.01.2022 Wishing all the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day for Sunday. A special thank you for all the times they take you to the physio, help you with your stretches, tummy time and exercises... or help you to walk, ride a bike or get in the pool... and for the dads that cheer you on, crack a joke and help you get back up when you fall down.

20.01.2022 Restrictions in Victoria, effective from today. Our clinic continues to limit the number of people in the clinic, and practise additional hygiene measures for those that attend. Telehealth/Video consults continue to be a beneficial option for those who cant’t/shouldn’t come in. Please call us to find out more. Ph: 9899 4004

19.01.2022 Stepping Forward Therapy Services will be closed on Friday the 25th of September. Melbourne has done an awesome job during Stage 4 Restrictions (Well done you!), and we’re preparing for the Second Step towards Covid Normal, planned to commence on Monday the 28th of September. Our team has risen to the challenges faced during the pandemic admirably and we look forward to continuing to support families through the next stage. ... #Jackneedsarest #itsahardlifebeingademobaby

19.01.2022 We are delighted to share the advice from the Chief Allied Health Officer, Adj Ass Prof Donna Markham regarding physiotherapy services, and a significant increase in the inclusion criteria for face to face consultations. We’ve missed you all! Please see the attached document here: https://australian.physio//Letter_to_Allied_Health_sector_... For an appointment, please call: 9899 4004.

11.01.2022 Friday Funny: When you buy online - check your sizes! Wanted little frogs... and got these giant ones instead!

08.01.2022 Hi Families! This directive was released Friday afternoon by the Chief Medical Officer to Allied Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (our governing body): Care must only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care, would result in a significant change/deterioration in the patient functional independence necessitating escalation of care ie. avoiding a hospital admission or emergency department presentation. ... These directives are about protecting the public and protecting health workers. Practitioners must critically consider if the service is essential for the patient in the next 6 week period. This is about saving lives. We would LOVE to see you, but we MUST put safety first. Stay tuned. If you have an appointment with us face to face, we will contact you and have a chat about how we can support you during Stage 4 Restrictions. And if you need help - we are here. We got this, Melbournians...!

08.01.2022 If you’re struggling with running your child’s therapy program at home, ask us for help! Don’t forget... fun is the best motivator!

07.01.2022 Stepping Forward remains open during Stage 4 restrictions, under limited practise. We look forward to seeing all your little (and not so little) faces either in person or via our video link/ Telehealth. Face to face appointments are limited to essential support during this 6 weeks. If you are unsure what that means for you - talk to us! Ph: 9899 4004.

07.01.2022 Advice for today regarding hay fever and asthma from The Royal Children’s Hospital.

04.01.2022 As Melbourne enters Stage 3 restrictions, for a second time.... Stepping Forward Therapy Services is ready (just like this little one!). Our doors remain open, with increased safety and hygiene measures in place. As Physiotherapy is an ESSENTIAL HEALTH SERVICE, we continue to be available to assess, treat and support your child - whether it be in our clinic or via video consultation (Telehealth). Questions? Call 9899 4004 to make an appointment.

03.01.2022 Physio looks a bit different at the moment, kids! Don’t worry - under all the ‘dress-ups’ we’re really still the same! Your mums and dads might be a little worried about how you’ll adjust... so here’s some tips you can share with them to make things easier: - Talk. Talk about things that might be different, and things that will be the same for their next therapy session. Having a chance to ask questions and be listened to can really help. - Practise. If you have a mask at ho...me, you can do a practise run! Pretend to be the therapist for your teddies (or your parents) can be fun. - Prepare. If you’re still worried, ask your parent to call ahead, and we can discuss what we can do to help things go smoothly. And lastly, these little video’s might help! Stay safe, and see you soon!

03.01.2022 Meet Tammy! Tanmayi Patgaonkar (Tammy) has over 9 years of experience as a Paediatric Physiotherapist in Australia and USA. She received her Masters in Physiotherapy (certification in Paediatrics) from the University of Indianapolis, USA, and certification in Sensory Integration from University of South California, USA. She worked in metropolitan Chicago as a paediatric physiotherapist/early intervention specialist for a couple of years before moving to Melbourne. Tammy pr...ovides assessment and management plans for children with a variety of developmental, neurological, post-surgical and disability related conditions. Tammy believes in a holistic approach to the problem, and working towards meaningful functional goals for the child and the family. She believes in play-based therapy that engages children and keeps them moving towards their goals. This assists the child to integrate exercises in daily activity. Tammy also does equipment prescriptions like seating systems, complex wheelchairs, etc. Tammy has published an outcome measure review at the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab. Tammy is also a council member of the APA paediatric national group. She can effectively communicate in three different languages. Apart from her professional commitments, Tammy loves to read, dance and hike/trek in the mountains (She has successfully been to Mount Everest base camp 5364mt above sea level in 2019). We’re excited to have her on board! Please call our clinic to book an appointment, and meet her for yourself. Ph: 9899 4004.
