25.01.2022 Addicted to Kmart finds! This toy is a great Gross Motor activity for jumping and hopping Kids absolutely love it and can be used from 18 months and up. If they are not ready for jumping they can stomp on it, it's a fantastic cause and effect toy with an added fine motor component of putting the rocket on. #kidsphysio #kmartfinds #physio #grossmotor

18.01.2022 BUMBO's Here is a quick summary of my professional opinion on a bumbo seat. - If you have one great, but only use it for short periods of time (15 mins or so). It won’t do any harm for short periods, see pic of happy little boy for proof! ... - Be aware that it is not the optimal sitting position for your baby. The bumbo seat locks the pelvis in a tilted backward position and brings the head forward into an immature sitting position. Generally babies sit in them before they are able to sit independently and at this stage of their development, the best position for them to be in is on the floor with the ability to move and not be restricted. -If you don’t have one, then maybe consider saving your money. You can make a similar sitting prop at home with your child in a laundry basket with pillows, cardboard box, or propped in sitting with a nursing pillow or similar. With these setups they are not retained/restricted as much and can actively use their muscles more for pelvic control. -If you are set on getting one, consider the bumbo multiseat or other similar brands as it is aimed at an older baby who can sit well already. They don’t grow out of them as quickly, especially if your baby has deliciously chunky thighs the bumbo seat does not last long. The multiseat can be used to secure to dining chair and comes with a tray. However as therapists we always recommend a highchair for feeding as they are in a more supported position. An ikea chair is fine if that’s all your child needs and you can even do a DIY hack and make a foot rest. I would love to hear your experiences with Bumbo seats and the like, or if you have any questions shoot me a message.

16.01.2022 What a fantastic program! Paediatric Physiotherapy helps to optimise physical function to allow kids to participate in physical activity. Research shows that a staggering 80% of Australian girls are insufficiently active. DADEE (Dads And Daughters Exercising and Empowered) is a world-first lifestyle program targeting fathers as the agents of change to improve their daughters’ physical activity levels, sport skills and social-emotional wellbeing. Importantly, the program also engages girls to improve the fitness and physical activity levels, and parenting skills of their fathers.

14.01.2022 SENSORY SCREENING We are so happy to announce that we will be having a monthly sensory screening dedicated to families of children with disabilities such as aut...ism and other sensory needs. We want to ensure there is a way every child can enjoy the magic of seeing a film at the cinema! This month we are showing Captain Underpants at 10:30am on the 24th of September. These sessions will have dim lighting, lowered sound, limited trailers/advertising, no seating allocation and volunteer coordinators patrolling. For these sessions you will not be able to purchase tickets online so it does not get confused with other sessions. Please purchase your tickets from the candy bar or box office at Event Cinemas Glendale and all tickets are $6.

07.01.2022 Happy world physiotherapy day! I chose to study physio because I wanted to be the Australian netball physiotherapist. I was netball mad when I was younger!

Helping kids reach their full movement potential is rewarding and so much fun! #lovemyjob #worldphysiotherapyday #kidsphysio #tinytotsphysio #choosephysio #addlifetoyears
