⚡ Pediatric Muscle Stim (NMES) ⚡
Did you know developt is one of the few clinics in Western Canada offering functional electrical muscle stimulation for kids?
✨ What it is: A gentle, low-level current applied through surface pads to help “wake up” muscles that need extra support.
✨ How it works: Used during active movement, it helps improve motor learning and build strength over time.
✨ Why it matters: It’s safe, comfortable, and an extra tool in our therapy toolbox to help kids thrive!
Think of it as an extra set of hands supporting your child’s progress. 💛

Yesterday was a fantastic day! We were able to drop off all the tabs that we collected for to put toward research and families affected by childhood cancer in SK. And to top it all off I got to visit with an old friend, Miss T! I’m so excited to see what she does in the next few years ❤️.
If you missed tab collection this year, no worries! We’ll do it again next year so keep saving those tabs!
