“Will they grow out of it?”
It’s one of the most common questions we hear from parents, and the answer is… sometimes yes, but often not without support.

Kids are great at adapting, which can make movement issues look like they’ve disappeared. But underlying problems with strength, coordination, posture, or pain don’t always resolve on their own. Left unchecked, they can show up later as ongoing pain, reduced confidence in activities or leisure, or injuries.

The good news? Early assessment and simple strategies can make a big difference, helping kids move well, feel strong, and keep doing the things they love.

If you’re unsure whether something is just a phase or worth checking out, we’re always happy to help at Fizz Family Physiotherapy 💛🪴

Did you know kids don’t always say “my back hurts”…
Sometimes they say “I don’t want to go to sport today.”

Avoiding sport, complaining of “tired legs,” or suddenly losing interest in activities they usually love can be their way of telling us something doesn’t feel right.

Kids aren’t always great at describing pain. A change in behaviour can be the biggest clue.

If your child:
• Pulls out of sport more than usual
• Says their limbs, back or joints feel “tight,” “sore,” or “weird”
• Struggles after sitting, school, or training
• Wanting more rest than usual

It might be worth getting it checked.

At Fizz Family Physiotherapy, we look at the whole picture; growth, strength, posture, sport load, and movement patterns. This helps kids feel confident and comfortable 💛🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Big wins start with little words 💬
Encouragement. Confidence. High fives.
Sometimes the biggest progress isn’t just physical, it’s confidence 💛

The words we use with kids matter. Encouragement builds belief, and belief helps little bodies do big things.

Behind every “They did it!” is hard work, persistence, and a whole lot of support. And we love cheering them on just as much as you do 🙌

Because physio isn’t just about exercises, it’s about helping kids believe in what they can do 💛

At Fizz Family Physiotherapy, we celebrate every win, because those moments shape strong, confident kids.

New school year = new routines, new challenges… and lots of growing bodies on the move! 🎒✨

At Fizz Family Physiotherapy, we know the start of the school year can be exciting and a little overwhelming for kids (and parents too). From heavy backpacks and long classroom days to jumping back into sport, little bodies go through big changes this time of year.

Here’s your gentle back to school physio reminders:
✨ Check backpack fit and weight
✨ Ease back into sports training
✨ Prioritise sleep and recovery
✨ Check desk and seat heights
✨ Don’t ignore ongoing aches or pains

Setting kids up with good movement habits early can make a huge difference to their comfort, confidence, and performance at school and on the field.

If your child is starting the year with niggles, clumsiness, or aches and pains, we’re here to help them feel strong, capable, and ready to move, grow and thrive 🤸‍♀️.

Tummy time is one of the best ways to help your little one build strength, confidence, and early motor skills. It helps to build the foundations for rolling, crawling and exploring the world.
At Fizz Family Physiotherapy, we recommend starting with short, frequent bursts throughout the day. Even 1–2 minutes counts!

Start low and slow, make it fun, and follow their cues. Try chest-to-chest cuddles, across your lap, or a rolled towel under the arms for extra support.
Little moments lead to big milestones 💜🚼

Bumps, falls, and tumbles are all part of growing up but sometimes, those knocks can lead to soft tissue injuries.

What are they?
Soft tissue injuries affect the muscles, ligaments, or tendons such as sprains, strains, and bruises.

Common signs:
• Pain or tenderness
• Swelling or bruising
• Limping or reduced movement

How physio can help:
At Fizz Family Physiotherapy, we help kids recover safely and confidently!
✨ Gentle movement and strengthening exercises
✨ Individualised recovery plans
✨ Education to prevent future injuries

If your child’s pain or swelling doesn’t improve within a couple of days, it’s worth getting it checked out as early care makes a big difference! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏅
