✨ Meet the amazing Ms Kate Cowlishaw ✨

Kate graduated with honours from the University of Melbourne School of Physiotherapy in 1997. She is a highly experienced physiotherapist in the area of individualised exercise programs, addressing specific needs.
At Offspring Child Health Specialists, Kate assesses children aged 4 to 12, looking at strength, coordination, balance, and motor planning. She believes that all children can participate in and enjoy exercise and sports, some just need a bit of extra help!

Based on her assessment findings along with goal setting discussions with both child and parents, Kate creates an exercise program to address any areas of need. Where appropriate, Kate can write reports to assist with applications for NDIS funding.

She offers both ‘in clinic’ guided exercise sessions, as well as teaching some home exercises to be practiced in between sessions. Kate also offers outdoor sessions at agreed times and locations to work on skills such as running, bike riding, or other sport specific skills needing a larger space. Sessions are always fun, with a strong focus on building your child’s physical self-confidence. Kate loves children, and has two of her own, aged 15 and 12.

WHAT CAUSES BABY EAR INFECTIONS?
All ear infections – at any age - are caused by viruses or bacteria that get into the eustachian tube, which links the middle ear to the back of the throat. This often happens when you have a cold, as germs that are already present in the throat go straight into the eustachian tube. Babies are particularly prone to ear infections, as their eustachian tubes are shorter than in adults.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A BABY INFECTION
Although your baby can’t tell you they have an ear infection, there are still lots of behavioural signs that you can pick up on. Look out for your little one becoming upset and more irritable than usual, as this could be a sign of a baby ear infection. You may also find that your baby is restless at night, starts pulling at and itching their ear, and is not feeding well. Having a cough, cold and high temperature can also be present with a baby ear infection.

There is also sometimes a visible sign of a baby ear infection, which is a discharge running from the ear.

HOW SHOULD I TREAT A BABY EAR INFECTION?
You can give your baby paracetamol or ibuprofen treatments for children if they are in pain or have a temperature. Discuss what is best for your baby with your pharmacist. Always check the dose you should give your baby, which depends on their age, and how many doses are safe to give over 24 hours. Never exceed the recommended dose.

WHEN SHOULD I SEE A GP ABOUT A BABY EAR INFECTION?
Most baby ear infections will clear up on their own after about three days. But you should take your baby to the doctor if it hasn’t cleared up within three days, or if you notice any of the following symptoms:
* Fluid coming out of the ear
* Swelling around the ear
* Other symptoms, like vomiting or a very high temperature

Nothing is better than a family and friends❤❤ 😇😇..

The brain and nervous system are the hub of everything the human body does, from breathing and keeping the heart beating to picking up a pencil and driving a car. When the nervous system isn’t working right, it can affect the entire body.

Neurologists are doctors who specialise in treating conditions that affect the brain and nervous system. This can include the brain, nerves, and spine. Problems in these areas can cause conditions like headaches, seizures, multiple sclerosis, or developmental delays. Pediatric neurologists specialise in treating these conditions in children.

✨ There's nothing in this world that is more valuable than having a strong bond with a loving family and friends. That kind of connection is worth more than any amount of money or material possessions.

✨ It's the most important thing you can have, because it's the only thing that truly lasts. At the end of the day, when everything else is gone, you'll still have your relationships to fall back on. They'll be the ones who help you through tough times and celebrate your successes with you.

✨ So cherish those bonds, because they are truly priceless.
