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, 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 child’s individual case and make physio fun!💚

Thank you for this valuable information.

🎗️September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month🎗️

Childhood cancer is diagnosed in 1,000 kids across Canada every year.

How physiotherapy at KPG can help kids with cancer:

🎗️Reduce treatment-related effects while boosting strength, mobility, and quality of life

🎗️Support with orthotics, assistive devices, and strategies to stay active at home and school

🎗️Start prehabilitation before treatment to build resilience & prevent future impairments

🎗️Manage fatigue, scar tissue, range of motion, and strength — always in a FUN way!

This month, we stand with children and families facing cancer and highlight the role of physio in their journey.

Thank you to for this informative post!

Today we celebrate World PT Day!🤸🏻‍♂️

This year’s theme highlights the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in healthy aging, which starts in early childhood!

Read on for the Canadian Physical Activity
Guideline recommendations:

Here is what a healthy 24-hour period looks like for:

Infants (0-1 year)
🚼Participation in multiple bouts of physical activity throughout the day - this is best done through interactive floor-based play & tummy time!
😴Depending on age, babies should get between 12-17 hour of good quality sleep, including naps!

Toddlers (1-2 years)
🏃🏻‍♂️At least 180 minutes spent in a variety of physical activities at any intensity.
😴Child should get approximately 11 to 14 hours of good-quality sleep (including naps) with consistent bedtimes & wake-up times.

Preschoolers (3-4 years)
👯At least 180 minutes spent in a variety of physical activities spread throughout the day, of which at least 60 minutes is energetic play - more is better.
😴Child should get approximately 10-13 hours of good-quality sleep, which may include a nap, with consistent bedtimes & wake-up times.

5-17-year-olds have 4 categories to achieve - Sweat, Step, Sleep, and Sit!

SWEAT:
😅At least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity that includes aerobic activity - Think running🏃🏼‍♀️, biking🚴🏼‍♂️, swimming🏊🏼, hiking🥾!
💪🏻Vigorous physical activity, as well as bone & muscle strengthening activities, should be done at least 3 days per week - This means weight training🏋🏽‍♀️as well as aerobic activity!

STEP:
🚶🏾‍♀️Light physical activity that takes up several hours in the day
🚶🏼‍♂️These can be structured or unstructured light physical activities

SLEEP:
🛌Kids should sleep uninterrupted 8-11hrs
⏰Consistent bed and wake-up times are best!

SIT:
📺No more than 2 hours of recreational screen time per day
🪑Limit sitting for long periods of time - movement breaks are a great way to split up sitting!

Thank you to for this wonderful post!

This week is the first week back to school for a lot of our families!📚✏️

Here is KPG Winnipeg’s physio to-do list to set your child up for success for the year!

📘Prep for fall sports: physio can help get your child ready for fall sports by working on general strengthening or sport-specific skills!
📕Backpack wearing: to ensure your child is comfortable carrying their backpack around, we recommend wearing both straps, wearing the chest or waist strap to reduce strain on the shoulders, and distributing the weight evenly!
📗Good sitting posture at desk: sitting all day can get tiring, so having your feet flat on the floor or a stool, having your bum all the way back in your chair, and pulling your chair in can help!
📙Work on gross motor skills: as your child moves into a new grade, there may be new skills they are working on in Phys. Ed. and we are here to help them achieve these milestones!

We hope everyone has a smooth transition from summer to school!☺️

Happy September Long!☀️ We hope all of you are able to have some fun and relaxation before school starts up again next week!📚 We are open tomorrow and will reopen again on Tuesday!😊

Happy Saturday!☺️ Today we are highlighting one of our most loved pieces of equipment: the peanut ball!🔴

The peanut ball is used all throughout the day here at Kids Physio to help children improve things such as core strength, stability, balance, proprioception, gross motor skills, and coordination!

When paired with other pieces of equipment in the gym, the exercise possibilities (and fun possibilities) are endless!🤩

You’ve probably heard the term RICE when dealing with an acute injury: rest, ice, compression, and elevation🧊A question we often get asked is whether or not ice is the answer🤔

Well, new research is telling us that the RICE method may not be as helpful as we thought and that we should not ice new injuries. This might seem strange, but ice actually STOPS the healing process (swelling) from happening. Swelling is your body’s way of sending circulation and nutrients to a damaged area so that it can start rebuilding and healing. We want to let the tissues go through their healing phase as quickly as possible by allowing swelling to occur, but also listen to it when it says “too much”.

If you’re a fan of acronyms, the new “standard” acronym is PEACE & LOVE: protect, elevate, avoid anti-inflammatory modalities, compress, educate, & load, optimism, vascularisation, and exercise! If you are curious about this new acronym, speak to your physiotherapist at your next appointment to hear more about why ice is not the first line of treatment anymore! We love staying up to date with the latest research to help your children heal the best they can💪🏻

Thank you to for the information!

Today we are talking about a magical toy: bean bags!🤩

They are so simple yet so versatile! You will notice our physios using these in almost every session - usually in rainbow order of course!🌈We even managed to find rubber bean bags and bean animals (frogs specifically) that are easy to clean🐸

Here are a few examples of how we use bean bags to make physio FUN for your child:

🔴Throwing practice - work on hand eye
coordination and aiming
🟠Stepping stones - walking on the bean bags
to work on motor planning and balance
🟡Penguin walks - try to walk with the bean bags on the top of your foot for toe walkers and strengthening
🟢Ladder climbing - bean bags rest really well on top of the ladder to motivate kiddos to climb up 🔵Lift heels - place bean bags under the child’s heels to encourage pressing through the heels in squats and help with form
🟣Single leg balance - place the bean bag on top of the foot and transfer it to a close box to work on standing on one leg

Thank you to for this information!
