🏃‍♂️💥 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!

NEW PHYSIO ALERT🔔‼️

We once met a student named Bailey,
Who’s allergic to sun but gardens daily.
She plays all kinds of sports,
Has talents of all sorts,
We hired her as a PT without faily.

We are giddy with excitement to introduce our newest PT.

A self-proclaimed, slick-skilled and very competitive Mario Kart racer, mastermind cardsharp and board game fanatic who takes the term “sports enthusiast” to another level, Bailey comes to us with a passion for supporting kids that spans over a decade. Along with a student placement at Hamilton Kids Physio and current practice as a PT, Bailey is the “cool aunt” to 15 nieces and nephews (WOW!) and brings experience tutoring math and science for kids aged 4 to 18, running programs for neurodiverse children at Brock U, working at sports camps for six years PLUS her own experience recovering from injury and returning to sport. Bailey’s passion for supporting kids is limitless.

A competitive athlete in volleyball 🏐, basketball 🏀 and soccer ⚽️, Bailey is currently in her trying-something-new era 🫶 and serves up a dill-lightful 🥒 set of new sport experiences including pickleball, swimming, golf and tennis. While she’s aces over sports and fangirls over Summer McIntosh she is admittedly a little meh 😒 when it comes to professional athletes.

We are also wetting our plants 💦🌱 with excitement knowing Bailey is developing a green thumb. This is good news for the few plants in our clinic that are unbeleafably 🍃looking a little withered. Oopsie daisy. 🌼

Tuner or later you’ll find out that Bailey is a musically inclined, squeaky-note specialist and can play the piccolo, the flute and the piano. If that doesn’t key 🎹 you up, nothing will.

Just when you thought were spread too thinly for more facts: Bailey hates peanut butter. We think that’s a bit nutty 🥜but I guess no-butter’s perfect. 🤕 (yeah that pun hurt us, too)

To book with Bailey check out the link ⛳️ in our bio.

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.
