Finally reorganizing the clinic storage like… 💃✨

When the bins are binned, the labels are labeling, and suddenly you’re the most organized version of yourself you’ve ever met 😮‍💨

Nothing—and I mean NOTHING—hits quite like a fresh storage overhaul 🙌

That’s a wrap on our Winter Milestones & Me classes ❄️💛

From wobbles to wins (and a whole lot of chaos in between 😅), these little ones worked SO hard.

But don’t get too comfy… Spring session kicks off in just 2 weeks 🌸

👀 Quick registration update: most groups are already FULL, but there are still a few spots left if you’ve been thinking about joining us!

If this is us just existing in the clinic…
imagine how much fun we’re having when we actually get to work with kids.
10/10 fun while also getting your goals accomplished.

Your child will have a great time. Probably us too.

Pediatric physios at the start of the day:
✨ energy ✨
✨ vibes ✨
✨ absolutely unstoppable ✨

Pediatric physios at the end of the day:
…
just lying on the floor surrounded by toys like we were emotionally defeated by a room full of 3-foot-tall personal trainers.

10/10 would do it again tomorrow.

We swear we are working.

It may not look like work but please note the following highly professional clinical activities happening here:
blowing bubbles with extreme focus
jumping on the trampoline for… science
sliding down the slide backwards
conducting very serious swing tests
absolutely rocking a toddler hoop

Pediatric physiotherapy is a very serious profession and we take it extremely seriously.

Please ignore the giggling.

No fancy equipment? No problem.
We can think of so many ways to target goals at home.

Kid physio is about creativity not equipment.
And yes — it should be fun.

Our background soundtrack is ✨tiny humans expressing their feelings✨

If you’re new to therapy it can feel very alarming when your child cries during a session. We promise we aren’t immune to kids’ feelings - we care deeply about every single one of them.

But here’s the thing: crying is communication.
Crying doesn’t automatically (and usually doeesn’t) mean something is painful.

Sometimes it means:
• “this is HARD”
• “I don’t wanna”
• “I’d actually prefer to be snuggling my mom right now”
• “I’m tired”
• “I have been alive for 6 months and this is extremely offensive”

Our job is to read the communication and decide what it means in that moment. Sometimes we push through a challenge, sometimes we pivot, sometimes we stop.

And the truth is… after working in pediatrics for years the screaming kind of fades into the background. We’re just over here chatting about our weekends while someone is dramatically protesting tummy time in the corner.

But also — your kid crying will always tug on your heartstrings more than it does ours. That’s normal. You’re their safe place. ❤️

We promise we’re watching your child closely, supporting them through hard things, and celebrating the wins right alongside them.

(And yes… sometimes the soundtrack is a little loud.)

Lately we’re seeing more and more babies come in with a giant list of oral motor exercises they’ve been told to try… from the internet, from well-meaning providers, from a friend of a friend of a Facebook group.

• tug of wars
• lateralizations
• tongue stretches
• tongue push ups
• lip stretches AND AND AND
All of them. Immediately.

The thing is… you can’t just throw a bunch of exercises at a wall and see what sticks.

The what, when, and why matters. A lot.

Otherwise babies will do what humans do best:
find a compensation.

Now they’re either good at the exercise using muscles they shouldn’t be using OR frustrated…
AND it’s not actually helping the feeding skill we were trying to improve.

Less spaghetti throwing.
More strategy. 🍝

🌱 Spring 2026 registration for Milestones and Me is HERE! 🌱

We’re starting this session with our three classic groups:

🐞 Rolly Pollies – tummy time, rolling & early sitting
🐛 Inchworms – sitting, transitions & crawling
🚶 Teeter Toddlers – cruising & pre-walking skills

If we get enough interest, we’ll split each level into junior and senior groups so we can better match kids based on their skills and stage of development (rather than just age). These would run alternate weeks, but class times will stay the same.

Our Milestones and Me groups are designed to:
✨ Teach purposeful play strategies to support your child’s development
✨ Share tips we wish every parent knew (think shoes, toys, equipment and more!)
✨ Connect with other parents navigating similar things — whether that’s tension, tethered oral tissues, delayed milestones, or just wanting extra support along the way

⚠️ Spots always go fast, so reach out ASAP if you’re interested!

If you’re new to our clinic, we’ll need to do a quick group assessment first to make sure your little one is placed in the best group for them.

📩 Send us a DM or reach out to register!
