Today, we're highlighting a versatile piece of equipment that's a fan favourite across our clinics: STEPPING STONES! 🌟

Our physios love incorporating stepping stones into our sessions — we use them for balance and play, and to help with stability. You can use the pods with the dome side up or flat side up to provide varied levels of difficulty!

Other ways you can use stepping stones with your kiddo include:
🔴 Floor is lava game
🟠 Obstacle courses
🔵 Balance tasks
🟣 Plank walk outs
🟢 Single leg stance
🟡 Sensory input/decline
🟤 Bear crawl river crossing

All these activities are great for working on motor planning and control, balance, proprioception, sensory input, core strength, upper body strength, and so much more! How does your child like to use stepping stones? 💚

🌟 Let's talk about HALF-KNEELING! 🌟

You’ve probably seen your child playing in a kneeling position, but have you seen them half-kneel? Half-kneeling occurs when a child kneels with one leg forward. It can be a challenging motor skill for some kiddos as it requires trunk stability, balance, and strength of the hips and glutes! 💪

Babies and kids use this transitional position when they’re learning to pull to stand, and eventually, when they learn to rise up from the floor independently. A lot of babies will initially find other ways to pull up - such as when they give it their all with their upper half while the lower half follows 😂 - but will ultimately refine their technique to use the half kneel position.

Our physios love to use this position in their sessions not only to teach the transition, but even beyond to help strengthen those muscle groups, reciprocal movements, symmetry, and as well as skills like reaching, crossing midline, and a whole host of other things! 🙌

Don’t underestimate this position that you usually only see briefly - it’s a powerhouse!

Let’s talk about SCOLIOSIS!

Scoliosis is a group of conditions that causes the spine to curve and is commonly identified during growth phases 👶🧒🌱

In children, scoliosis may be due to different causes:
⭐ Idiopathic: the underlying cause is unknown and the child is otherwise typically developing
⭐ Neuromuscular: related to conditions such as Cerebral Palsy or Muscular Dystrophy and associated with muscle weakness, muscle imbalance and postural asymmetrical
⭐ Congenital: related to improper formation of the vertebrae

For all types of scoliosis, pediatric physiotherapists can help maintain movement and flexibility in your child’s spine, reduce pain, and maximize function!

Treatment may include:
✅ Correcting and varying posture
✅ Repositioning strategies
✅ Muscle stretching
✅ Strengthening of the muscles that support the spine

Depending on the case, an orthopaedic surgeon or orthotist may also be involved in management of the scoliosis. Our physiotherapists tailor their care to support each kiddos individual case and make physio fun! 💚

Today's is about HEAD CONTROL! 👶

Did you know, babies develop from the top down? 💭

When it comes to motor development, one of the first things we look for is head control. Head control lays the foundation for future gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling and walking. 🚶‍♀️

We first look for babies to develop neck strength and head control, followed by development of strength in their shoulders, arms, core, hips, and legs.

What does developing head control look like? 💭
🍼 Lifting head while on tummy
🍼 Lifting and turning head while on tummy
🍼 Maintaining head in midline in various positions - supine, prone, being held upright, supported sitting, etc.
🍼 Rolling

What are some ways to help support head control development? 💭
⭐ Tummy time on a parents chest, propped over a nursing pillow, on flat ground, on an exercise ball
⭐ Being held just over your shoulder, so they can learn to safely hold their head up and turn to look in both directions

When your little one is able to maintain their head in midline and turn their head in both directions in a supported sitting position (usually around 3-4 months of age), we know they are progressing and will soon start working on more core strength allowing them to work on progression of motor skills - rolling, propped sitting, independent sitting and so on!

If you have questions about head control and ways to support the development of your little one's head control, our physiotherapists are here to help! Give the closest KPG location to you a call 📞 and book an Infant Physiotherapy Assessment. 💚

Welcome to - Sticky Ball Challenge Edition!

This workout challenges dynamic balance by keeping the body steady while throwing, while also building foot strength, ankle stability, and lower limb control. It also encourages motor planning and coordination (pick up → aim → throw while balancing). We love to use it in the clinic to challenge our kids; the competitive aspect of hitting the target helps keep physio fun!

It is a great activity for:
🟢 dancers
🟢 gymnasts
🟢 cheerleaders
🟢 figure skaters
🟢 kids working on balance, coordination, and confidence with gross motor skills
