✨ Meet Dr Ramona Clark ✨

Paediatric neuro physio 👶🧠 | Lecturer @ Griffith Uni 🎓 | Senior Physio @ QCMAS

With 15+ years across hospital, community & academia, Ramona is the definition of clinician and educator goals 🙌 She works at the Queensland Children’s Motion Analysis Service, diving deep into 3D gait analysis, biomechanics & all things complex neuro 💻✨

Her PhD (yep, she’s that impressive 👀) focuses on improving how we assess neurological impairments in kids — and her research is shaping paediatric physio practice worldwide 🌏📚

When she’s not teaching the next generation of physios or publishing research, she’s supporting children with complex needs to move, play & thrive 💛

Evidence-based, passionate, and seriously clever — we are VERY lucky to learn from her ✨

At Upside we are always learning and growing - just like our kids!

Hannah recently attended the Disability Safe Seating Solutions Workshop with Kidsafe Queensland, alongside our friends at Growing Gunns and Coast Kids Physio.

This advanced training focuses on safe transport solutions for children with additional needs, including the trial, prescription and modification of specialised car restraints and seating supports.

Workshops like these help ensure we’re providing families with the most up-to-date, safe and practical recommendations — supporting each child’s unique needs both in the clinic and on the go 🚗

School holidays might be over, but the fun (and growth) certainly hasn’t stopped 💛

Our April Upside Kids Kamps were full of energy, smiles and so many special moments — including our Upbeat Dance Program!

With the support of our paediatric physiotherapist Emily, our wonderful participants had the opportunity to build:

✨ coordination and motor planning

✨ confidence in their bodies

✨ social connection and friendships

Most importantly, they had FUN while learning and moving in a supportive environment.

Missed out this time? Don’t worry — we’ll be back for the June/July school holidays!

Get in touch with our clinic to register your interest and be the first to hear when bookings open.

Movement is where it all begins ✨

Before we sit, write, focus or learn… we move.
Through movement, children explore, connect, build confidence and make sense of their world 🌈

At Upside, we believe movement is the gateway to learning 💛
And every little step, jump, roll and climb is helping build big skills for life.

Because when kids move… they learn 🫶

Now available to trial at 💛

We've recently welcomed the BabyUp into the clinic so families can explore whether it may support their baby's comfort and positioning.

There is increasing discussion around upright positioning and how it may support babies experiencing reflux, colic or unsettled periods, while also encouraging engagement and interaction with caregivers.

If you're curious about whether positioning supports like this could help your little one, our physio team would love to chat🌈

One of the MOST common questions we get in clinic 👟✨

“What should I look for in my toddler’s shoe?”

We teamed up with our friends 👣💛 to break it down for you — here’s what we love to see:

✔️ Breathable materials (leather or mesh)
✔️ Firm, high & stable heel cup
✔️ Stable midfoot (not floppy through the arch)
✔️ Zero drop (heel + toe same height)
✔️ Wide toe box so little toes aren’t crowded
✔️ Textured outsole for grip
✔️ Velcro or fasteners for easy adjustability

Remember 🌈 not every child develops the same. If you have concerns about your child’s walking, balance or foot posture — chat with a paediatric physio or podiatrist.

Save this for your next shoe shop 🛍️👟💫

💦 Why we LOVE aquatic physio

The pool isn’t just fun - it’s powerful 🙌

Research (2024 review on aquatic therapy in children with disabilities) highlights how the properties of water can support movement, strength and participation.

🌊 Buoyancy = less pressure on joints
🌊 Hydrostatic pressure = more controlled movement
🌊 Warm water = relaxed muscles
🌊 Viscosity = natural resistance + sensory feedback

Some sessions focus on skill development (walking, balance, jumping 🏃‍♀️)
Others target mobility, endurance or gentle stretching

And because they’re kids… we use 🎲 games, 🧸 toys and 🎵 songs to keep it engaging and motivating!

Evidence-informed ✔️
Play-based ✔️
Child-centred ✔️
