Happy Allied Health Professions Day 2025! 💙
This year’s theme, “Stronger Together”, reminds us that every milestone happens through teamwork.

Physios are just one piece of the puzzle 🧩 in a child’s journey, working alongside OTs, speechies, dietitians, and so many amazing allied health professionals to help kids move, play, and thrive.

We’re proud to be part of this international celebration of collaboration, care, and connection! 🌍

🏃‍♀️ Move, Play, Grow! 🌞 Summer Sports Are Back!

As the school year wraps up and the summer sun returns, it’s the perfect time to get kids moving! ☀️

Active play and sports aren’t just fun — they’re essential for growing bodies and brains!

💪 Movement helps kids:
• Build strength, balance & coordination
• Improve focus and confidence
• Support healthy growth and posture

⚽🏊‍♀️ Whether it’s swimming, soccer, dance or athletics — every bit of activity helps kids thrive.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents, friendly reminder: enrol now for summer sport programs before spots fill up!
And if your child is starting a new sport or needs help with flexibility, strength, or injury prevention, our paediatric physio team is here to help.

Let’s make this summer one full of movement, confidence, and fun! 🌈

✨ Steptember 2025 — Recap ✨

Our team at Children’s Physio SA took 2,000,000 steps and raised $2,001 in September! 👟💙

Together, we:
✅ Funded 32 therapy kits for babies with cerebral palsy
✅ Supported 8 early response sessions
✅ Helped more babies receive early detection & therapy in the first 1,000 days

A huge shout-out to our amazing stepper Sarah, who raised an incredible $684 on her own 👑👏

Thank you to every stepper, donor, and supporter who made this possible — you’ve helped us smash our goal and make a real difference!

💙 We stepped up, and together we created change.

✨SUPERSTAR SAHARA✨
Here’s one of our little champs showing off her dance moves while undergoing treatment for bilateral Metatarsus Adductus (MTA) 💃🦶.

MTA is when the front part of the foot curves inward. It’s actually quite common in little ones, and casting is often used to help gently guide the feet into a straighter position.

At Children’s Physio SA, we support kids to stay active and engaged in safe ways — though we don’t recommend jumping in casts 😉.

👣 Toe Walking in Kids – When to Watch & When to Worry 👣

It’s common for toddlers to go up on their toes when learning to walk, and most outgrow it by ages 2–3. But sometimes, toe walking persists and may need extra attention.

⚠️ Seek advice if your child:
✔️ Still toe walks past age 2
✔️ Can’t stand with heels flat
✔️ Walks on toes only on one side
✔️ Trips or struggles to run/play
✔️ Has tight calves or foot/ankle pain
✔️ Struggles with balance

💡 Our paediatric physios can help with stretches, strength, balance, and even casting if needed.

In case you didn’t know, the Children’s Physio SA team is taking part in Steptember! steptemberau👣

The team is well and truly smashing their step goals!

Sarah took on the City to Bay half marathon this morning and absolutely nailed it with an impressive time- all that training has clearly paid off. There’s still time to support us, with 9 days left in the challenge! Sonja, our practice manager, has been getting her steps in on holidays and while running around keeping the family going! And Han’s (one of our AHAs) been racking up her steps out on the boat - proving you can get your steps in however you like!

Let’s keep moving for a great cause! 💪

🎉 Meet Mason!
Mason visited us on his 9th birthday this week to see our director Phil! 💪 He’s being treated for Perthes Disease, a childhood condition that affects the hip joint.

🦴 What is Perthes?
It occurs when blood supply to the hip is reduced, weakening the bone. Most common in boys aged 4–8.

👣 Signs to watch for:
• Limping or hobbling gait
• Hip, groin, or knee pain
• Stiffness, weakness, or leg length difference

Physio plays a key role in helping kids like Mason stay mobile and strong.

👉 Concerned about your child’s hip or walk?

💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛

Being a parent or carer can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be tough. Between appointments, therapies, school, work, and daily life, it’s easy to put your own wellbeing last.

👉 Today is a reminder to pause, connect, and check in – not just with friends and colleagues, but especially with parents and carers who may be carrying extra loads.

💬 A simple “R U OK?” can open the door to important conversations.

At Children’s Physio SA, we see the strength of families every day, and we also know the value of support. Together, let’s make sure no one feels like they have to do it alone.

🌼 Ask. Listen. Encourage. Check in.

🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ We’re Stepping Up for a Cause! 💚

The Children's Physio SA team is participating in Steptember, taking 10,000 steps a day to support children living with Cerebral Palsy.

Why? Because 1 in 700 births in Australia is affected by CP, and every step we take raises awareness and funds for early therapy, support, and brighter futures through the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
💥 You can help too!
