The cutest flashback to Miss B and Cat. 😍 We miss you sweet girl! ❤️

One of our precious little clients, Aaron, has grown his angel wings, and our hearts are broken for his beautiful family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him. Though his time here was only four short years, his light, laughter, and love left a mark far greater than words can hold. His incredible family honoured him with the most moving parade—a celebration of his small but mighty life, and of the joy and courage he brought into every moment. Our hearts wrap around Aaron’s family and loved ones at this time. 💔

🌿 Refreshing Our First Aid Skills

The other week, our Tree’s Physio team took part in an inservice training session with paramedic Josh to refresh our First Aid and emergency response skills.

We covered choking management, anaphylaxis, seizures, vital signs, asphyxiation and auscultation and when to take emergency steps. We will share any concerns or findings with you as the parent and we’d love for you to share with us any plans you have for your child such as a seizure emergency plan so we can follow and plan accordingly.

We revisited what to do in an emergency and the everyday skills we can practice to be ready if the unexpected happens because in those crucial moments, confidence and quick action can make all the difference.

Whether it’s CPR, managing an injury or knowing the right steps to take in a medical emergency, our team is committed to keeping our knowledge sharp to help keep our Tree’s Physio community safe.

Prepared staff = safer clients and better outcomes 💚

V’s mum sent through some pictures from her session with Katrina today. She was using painting to express the felt sense of different types of pain in her body. As well as exploring yoga and breathing techniques. She is such an articulate and insightful little girl who likes to understand her body and take a lead in her treatment approach. Such an honour to work with and alongside these wise little people. ❤️

A huge welcome to Maya to the Tree’s Physio team! 😍

Maya is a passionate physiotherapist who completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at the University of South Australia. Originally from Adelaide, she recently relocated to Brisbane in search of new challenges and opportunities in a bigger city, bringing with her enthusiasm and a deep commitment to paediatric care.

Maya’s love for working with children began through her involvement in volunteer programs such as Young Mercy Links SA and Edmund Rice Camps SA. These experiences involved supporting children from refugee backgrounds and those facing difficult home environments. Through leading activities and creating safe, joyful spaces, Maya developed a deep appreciation for the resilience and uniqueness of every child.

During her studies, Maya completed the specialised course Physiotherapy with Children and Families, which gave her the practical skills to create play-based therapy environments tailored to each child’s interests, abilities, and goals. She believes the early years are critical in shaping a child’s future and is passionate about supporting development in a way that is fun, engaging, and empowering.

Maya approaches her work with creativity, empathy, and a genuine belief in the potential of every child. Known for her playful and approachable nature, she often describes herself as a “big kid” at heart – a quality that allows her to build strong, trusting relationships with her young clients.

Outside of the clinic, Maya enjoys dancing, crafting, and spending time in nature – all of which continue to inspire her work and the therapeutic activities she creates.

This Thursday, we’re trading in our work clothes for our comfiest pyjamas – and it’s all for a beautiful cause: supporting children in foster care. 💛

Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and supported – and together, we can help make that a reality. By dressing up (or down!) for Pajama Day, we’re raising awareness and funds for kids in care who need a little extra warmth in their world.

Want to help? You can join us by dressing up in your PJs for your appt on Thursday or donate at the link.

Let’s wrap these kids in comfort, hope, and community – one pair of PJs at a time. 🧸✨

This National Pyjama Day, I'm raising funds to support children in foster care to reach their dreams through learning and life-changing mentorship. Please donate to my page and help support kids in care to dream BIG, learn, and grow up believing in themselves. Every dollar helps! ✨

We’re Heartbroken — These NDIS Changes Will Hurt the Children Who Need Us Most

This July, the NDIS is introducing changes that will dramatically reduce funding for therapy services — and as a paediatric physiotherapy provider, we are devastated.

Here’s what’s changing:
- The hourly rate for physiotherapy is being reduced (after being frozen for many years despite rising business costs)
- Travel will now only be funded at half the therapist’s time
- Removal of regional loadings

It may not sound like much — but to us, these changes feel like a quiet dismantling of the very care system we’ve spent years building.

We don’t just treat muscles or joints.
We help children take their first steps, sit upright for the first time, stand without support, play with their siblings, walk into a classroom.
We drive to homes, parks, early learning centres, schools — wherever that child feels safe and is necessary to achieve their goals. Because for many, therapy in a clinic simply isn’t possible.

These cuts will limit access. They’ll create more barriers. They’ll leave some children without the support they need — not because it isn’t available, but because it’s suddenly unaffordable for the system that was designed to include them.

We know these children. We’ve cried with families during breakthroughs. We’ve celebrated every inch of progress. We’ve advocated hard for them at every step of the way. And now we’re scared — for what will happen if we are no longer able to reach them and provide the service they need.

We cannot stay silent.

This isn’t just a funding adjustment.
This is a loss of potential. A loss of dignity. A loss of equity.

✍️ We are asking — please — help us fight against this inequitable pricing cut. I’ll link the petition in the comments.

📢 Share it. Speak up. Tag your MPs. Raise your voice with ours.

As paediatric physiotherapists, we’re not walking away — but we need a system that walks with us, not against us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us and the children we support.

With fierce love and purpose,
💛 Katrina
& The Tree’s Physiotherapy Team
