👶 Does your baby dislike tummy time, seem extra gassy, or only feed well on one side?

These can be your baby’s way of saying, “Something feels uncomfortable.”

At Hamilton Kids Physio, our physiotherapists Fausta and Kait use gentle movement to support feeding, comfort, and development. 💙

You don’t have to navigate this alone, we’re here to help your little one (and you!) feel more at ease. 💫

📅 Book online today and let’s get your baby moving and feeding with more comfort!

Kids are getting ready to go back to school, so we’re here to share some tips as we enter a new school year!

Today we’re starting with BACKPACK TIPS:

A backpack should not weigh more than
🎒10-15% of your child’s body weight
🎒Size matters! Don’t choose a backpack that is too big
🎒Wear both straps
🎒Use the waist belt and chest strap to help reduce strain on the neck & shoulders
🎒Distribute the load evenly
🎒Tighten straps so the backpack sits high on the hips

If you aren’t sure if your child’s backpack is fitting properly, bring it along to your next physio appointment and we can make sure it’s fitting properly!

🏃‍♂️💥 Osgood-Schlatter Disease: a common cause of knee pain in growing kids and teens!

It happens when the tendon from the kneecap pulls on the growth plate at the top of the shin bone 🦵usually during growth spurts and with lots of running, jumping, or sports like soccer ⚽, basketball 🏀, or dance 💃

👀 Signs to watch for: 🔹 Pain or swelling just below the kneecap 🔹 Tender bump on the shin bone 🔹 Pain with activity that improves with rest

💡 How physio can help: ✅ Reduce pain and inflammation ✅ Improve flexibility in tight quads & hamstrings ✅ Strengthen surrounding muscles for support ✅ Modify activities while your child heals ✅ Prevent flare-ups during growth spurts

If your child is limping, wincing during sports, or avoiding stairs… it might be time for physio! 💪💙

🧠✨ Team learning in action! 🧠✨

The KPG Hamilton crew recently had the chance to take part in an inservice with MAP Rehab focused on applying behavioural science to our pediatric caseload.

We explored strategies to better understand motivation, enhance engagement, and support meaningful change with the kids and families we work with. Always growing, always learning! 💪👶🧒

Let’s learn about scoliosis!

Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine (more than 10°) that can look like an “S” or “C” shape. It can be:
🍼 Congenital: present at birth 🧬 Syndromic: part of a broader condition
🤷‍♀️ Idiopathic: most common, often seen in teens during growth spurts

Why does it happen? Uneven growth of the spine can cause it to rotate and curve. Risk factors include rapid growth, being female, and family history 👨‍👩‍👧

At our clinic, we help with early screening and management! We look at: 🔍 Posture 🦵 Leg length 🦴 Spinal movement ➡️ Rib or shoulder asymmetry

If we see signs of scoliosis, we work closely with your doctor to help get the right diagnosis and create a treatment plan that supports your child’s unique needs 💪

Have questions or concerns about your child’s spine? Book an assessment online using the link in our bio or give us a call to book! 💬✨

Thank you to our physiotherapy student Sarah C for the amazing post!

Our Story

Yes, just kids. Yes, just physio.

We were the first to provide this service in British Columbia, and are proud to have treated thousands of children of all ages and abilities over the past 10 years. Babies, kids, and teens function differently from adults, and our space and team are equipped to provide the highest quality physiotherapy care, delivered in an engaging way.

Our specialized equipment and treatments focus on improving mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, endurance, gross motor skills, cognition, motor planning, confidence, motivation, and more. With a large, experienced team we are able to provide custom programs based on each child’s distinct needs from birth to 18 years old.

Typically developing children with injuries, or those looking to extend or improve their athletic careers through pre-habilitation enjoy our open space, engaging equipment, and thoughtful treatment plans, while those with lifelong conditions benefit from the playfulness and our creative support to help them stay motivated in their rehabilitation journey.
