โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐ŸซSome children need extra support with emotional regulation as they adjust to routines and social demands ๐Ÿ’›
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Movement can help kids selfโ€‘regulate from the bottom up, supporting calm and focus. โšก๐Ÿ’ช Examples we use in therapy include:
๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Active breaks or gross motor games
๐Ÿƒ Running, jumping, or climbing to release tension
๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Breathing with gentle movement
๐Ÿ‘ Heavy work activities (pushing, pulling, lifting)
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If your child is still struggling after school, our Paediatric Physio & EP team can help guide movementโ€‘based strategies tailored to their needs. โœจ

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Is your child still walking on their toes? โœจ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿ’› Toe walking is common in toddlers learning to walk ๐ŸŒˆ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
However, itโ€™s a good idea to get them assessed if they:
โšก Canโ€™t walk flatโ€‘footed
๐Ÿ˜– Experience pain in their feet, calves, or knees
โณ Are older than 2 years and still toe walking
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Early support can help improve balance, strength, and confidence in movement ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’›
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Our Paediatric Physiotherapist Rachel has written a great blog on toe walking, along with a helpful parent/carer handout.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

โšฝ๏ธBack to school often means back to ALL the sports for some kids ๐Ÿ™ƒ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿ€๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s excitingโ€ฆ but it can also be a big load on growing bodies.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
A few key things to keep in mind as kids return to multiple sports ๐Ÿ‘‡
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿ˜ด Sleep matters
Most kids need 8โ€“10 hours of sleep minimum to recover, grow and perform at their best.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐ŸŒ Fuel = energy
Increased training means increased nutrition requirements.
Think pre and post training snacks, plus more food across the day to keep energy levels up.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿค Talk to coaches
If your child is in multiple sports, liaise with coaches early to help avoid overload and reduce injury risk in the first few weeks back.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿ›‘ Rest is not optional
Training + rest = improved performance (and happier kids!).
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If your child is experiencing pain, niggles, fatigue, or isnโ€™t getting back to where they were before the break, reach out to our team, weโ€™d love to help them return to sport feeling strong and confident ๐Ÿ’™
