SPARKS Research Study – Have Your Say

Parents/carers of children with cerebral palsy affecting their arms or hands are invited to take part in an important Sheffield‑based study.

Researchers are creating a core outcome set — a simple list of the key things that should be measured when looking at treatments for upper‑limb spasticity. This helps ensure future research reflects what matters most to families.

Disabled children and young people are so often left out of conversations about movement — and that’s something we’re deeply committed to changing at Align Family Wellness. Every child deserves to feel included, supported, and able to participate in physical activity in a way that feels good for them.

These recommendations come directly from the UK Chief Medical Officers’ Physical Activity Guidelines, developed with disabled children, families, and professionals to make movement more accessible and meaningful.

The guidelines

• Aim for 20 minutes of physical activity per day, or 140 minutes across the week
• Include a mix of aerobic and strengthening activities
• Adapt and tailor movement to each child’s abilities, energy levels, and health needs
• Pacing and rest are essential — recovery is part of the plan
• Enjoyment matters — movement should feel safe, achievable, and fun

Every child deserves the chance to move, play, and participate in ways that celebrate what their body can do.

If you’d like help adapting activity for your child, we’re here to support you.

The UK Chief Medical Officers have set out simple, evidence‑based guidelines for babies, toddlers and preschoolers — and they’re easier to follow than you might think.

Movement helps little ones build strong bodies, confident minds, social skills and better sleep. And the best part? It doesn’t need to look like “exercise”. Play is physical activity.

Swipe through to see: • Key recommendations for under‑1s and for 1–5 year olds
• Everyday movement ideas that genuinely count

What is IAIM and why is it important?

IAIM stands for the International Association of Infant Massage, a global organization dedicated to promoting nurturing touch and communication between parents and babies.

Infant massage is more than just soothing—it’s a way to:
✨ Strengthen bonding and attachment
✨ Support emotional security and trust
✨ Aid digestion, circulation, and body awareness
✨ Empower parents with skills to respond to their baby’s cues

As an IAIM-trained Infant Massage Instructor, I follow evidence-based principles that respect your baby’s needs and encourage positive interaction. IAIM’s approach is rooted in research and designed to help parents feel confident and connected.

🌟 Welcome to Align Family Wellness 🌟

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Alex Gill, and I’m a paediatric physiotherapist with over 10 years of experience. Caring for children, young people, and families has always been at the heart of my work.

From my earliest days, I’ve been drawn to helping others — whether supporting a nursery friend with cerebral palsy, younger family members, or a primary school classmate with cystic fibrosis. Those moments, along with personal experiences, shaped my journey into physiotherapy. I always knew I wanted to work with children, and my final university placement in paediatrics confirmed that passion.

Over the years, I’ve worked across a variety of paediatric settings, supporting children and young people with long-term neurological conditions, those recovering from orthopaedic surgery, and families navigating complex care. I understand how challenging these times can be, and my goal is to ensure families feel supported, reassured, and empowered every step of the way.

As a toddler mum myself, my passion for supporting new parents has grown even stronger. I know how overwhelming it can feel — even with knowledge and experience, logical thinking sometimes goes out the window when it’s your own child! That’s why I love offering guidance, reassurance, and practical support to parents, helping nurture bonding and healthy development.

I’m also passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge with parents, carers, young people, and professionals. Because when we learn together, we grow stronger together.

Outside of work, I love being outdoors, staying active, and enjoying cosy days at home. I’m happiest when spending time with friends and family, chasing after my golden retriever, and keeping up with my brilliantly bossy two‑year‑old daughter.
