Have fun with some Animal Moves Yoga with your kids this Friday! Yoga has many benefits for kids such as improving core/postural muscle strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and focus. This develops their physical abilities as well as assists in the classroom by improving their stationary sitting ability and attention to task. So stretch like a snake, balance like a stork, reach up tall like a tree, arch you back like a cat, wag your tail like a dog and have some fun with your kids these school holidays while you all gain the wonderful benefits of yoga! For more information or an individual kids yoga program, call 1300 012 273 to book an appointment with a paediatric physiotherapist.

Love these! Great idea for calming down little ones when they become overwhelmed, particularly those with sensory needs. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1464274986946299&id=672705836103222

Why see a Paediatric Physiotherapist? A physiotherapist experienced in the treatment of babies, children and teenagers is able to provide a specialised approach to treatment with an understanding of the changes in physical growth associated with childhood development. Bone and muscle growth in children don't always progress at the same rate, resulting in problems that may present as pain, muscle imbalance affecting movement or delay in achieving typical physical development. Treatment in the form of gentle manual techniques, home exercise program prescription, regular gym based programs and facilitative taping techniques are a few interventions that may be incorporated to address the underlying cause of the symptoms. Children with a range of paediatric conditions that result in changes in muscle tone, delays in meeting early physical milestones, difficulties in gross motor activities such as balance and coordination, and sensory processing differences can all be assisted by a paediatric physiotherapist through goal focussed intervention. Schools and childcare centres can benefit from physiotherapy recommendations regarding posture, gross motor skills and inclusion strategies. Contact our team for an assessment and individualised treatment program for your child on 1300 012 273.

Milestones Therapy
Supportive undergarments can be used to facilitate core and postural muscle activation required for hip and trunk stability to achieve motor milestones such as standing and crawling. Children with low muscle tone who present with delayed physical milestone development can benefit from these supportive garments which can be ordered and fitted by a paediatric physiotherapist. https://www.facebook.com/milestonestherapy/photos/a.416916658406152.1073741825.156128027818351/1151265218304622/?type=3

Vestibular System
Great information on the importance of the vestibular system in childhood development and some great ideas for getting kids moving and developing this complex system. If you have concerns regarding your child's physical development, bring them in for an assessment by a paediatric physiotherapist and get them back on track with specific exercise recommendations.

Love this quick and easy way to make weighted lap bags to help calm our little people who may need help to regulate their sensory system. Deep pressure can help kids who need to move to remain stationary for a longer period, assisting in periods of sitting at school or resting at kindergarten.
