Happy Halloween from Ohana Physio! 👻

Fun fact: our founder grew up in California - where everyone dresses up for Halloween! 🎭

We’ll take any excuse for pretend play, imagination, and movement… because play is how kids learn best! 💪🧡💙

Tiptoes are cute… until they’re not! 👣

Persistent toe walking can be linked to muscle tightness, balance challenges, or sensory differences.

Early physiotherapy can help little ones find their heels, improve posture, and prevent long-term issues.

If your child walks on their toes more often than not — let’s chat 👋

🌊 Physio Boardriders is here! 🏄‍♀️

We started this because so many clients were asking for something fun, different, and motivating — especially as sessions indoors started to feel a little stale.

So, we took therapy beyond the clinic walls and into nature ☀️

Our Boardriders sessions combine everything we love about the beach: movement, balance, confidence, and connection!
All while still working towards your individual NDIS physiotherapy goals. ✅

It’s goal-directed, 1:1, and seriously fun.

Because therapy shouldn’t just feel good — it should be something you look forward to. 🌺🌊🐬

We’re now booking blocks of therapy over the rest of 2025, as well as intensive or additional sessions over the January 2026 school holidays.

⏳ Limited bookings available — sessions can be added to your existing therapy, or if you’re new, come try something totally different 💭

👉 Enquire today to see if this could be great for you or your child & secure your spot and make this summer therapy something to smile about 🌴

Physiotherapy is about so much more than muscles and movement — it’s also about how the body senses and responds to the world around it. 🌍

Most people know about the 5 senses — sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch

- In physiotherapy, we also work with the “hidden senses” that shape how children move, balance, and feel in their bodies:

💪 Proprioception – awareness of where our body is in space (helps with coordination, posture, and motor control)

🎢 Vestibular – our sense of balance and movement (essential for walking, jumping, and head control)

💓 Interoception – sensing what’s happening inside our body (like fatigue/ the need for rest)

For many neurodivergent children, these sensory systems can be over- or under-responsive — and this directly affects how they move, play, and engage in therapy.

Our role as physiotherapists is to use purposeful movement, play, and sensory input to help the nervous system organise itself — so that each child feels safe, confident, and connected in their body. 🌿

👋 Have you met Abby?

Abby is one of our senior physiotherapists for paediatrics here at Ohana, bringing years of experience and a gentle, compassionate approach to her sessions. She’s passionate about helping children and families build strength, confidence, and independence through fun, goal-focused therapy.

Hypermobility isn’t just about being “super flexible”!
For kids and adults, it can mean tired muscles, sore joints, clumsiness, or injuries that just keep coming back.

Physiotherapy helps build the strength, stability and body awareness needed to keep those bendy joints supported 💪🌿

At Ohana Physiotherapy, we work with clients across all ages to turn flexibility into functional strength — helping every body move with confidence.

🐢✨ What is Turtle Brace Serial Casting?

Serial casting with Turtle Brace is a gentle, custom-fit way to help children improve range of motion and reduce tightness — especially for little ones with neurological or orthopaedic conditions.

💪 The brace is:
✅ Lightweight & breathable
✅ Fully adjustable as your child grows
✅ Re-mouldable without needing a full recast
✅ Ideal for kids who need gradual stretching over time

At Ohana Physio, we love using Turtle Brace as part of a goal-driven therapy plan — helping kids gain flexibility, comfort, and function in a way that’s safe and effective 🧡

👣 Whether it’s for toe walking, high tone, or joint positioning — we’re here to guide you through it.

Have questions about whether your child could benefit from serial casting? DM us or chat to your physio 💬
