“Mummy!! I’ve got a well good idea! Can me, Evie and Jack make a video to show all your followers clinic?? And pretend that we’re YouTubers?! 😃 and and can I say 6-7?!? 😁”

“Erm… sure? Go for it Noah 😅”

Personally, I think they all nailed it 🤣

✨

This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever been online… but I almost feel like I’d be doing other parents a disservice if I didn’t post this. So please be kind 🙏

Within the past week alone (and I only work three days a week right now), I’ve had five mums say things like:
“I just wish I’d contacted you sooner.”
“I honestly didn’t know something was wrong.”
“I feel like I’ve been letting my baby down.”

Hearing this breaks my heart 💔

Because I get it.

You love your baby more than anything in the world. You’d do absolutely anything to protect them. But parenting is hard. It’s messy and emotional and beautiful all at once. Sometimes we just need a safe space - somewhere we can let the tears flow, be heard without judgement, and be reminded that we’re doing a good job.

The video you see here was me at my lowest. Jack was cluster feeding every 20 - 30 minutes, barely sleeping, and struggling with tummy pain. Every time I put him down, he cried. The older two were exhausted at the end of term, and I hadn’t had more than a few hours of sleep per night in weeks.

And I felt the mum guilt hard. I remember thinking I must be doing something wrong. Why couldn’t I settle him? Why did everything feel so overwhelming? I felt like I was failing as a mum - even though deep down, I knew I was doing my best.

I filmed this moment and sent it to James as a reminder that this too shall pass. That even in the hardest, most sleep-deprived days, there’s still so much love. So much beauty.

To every parent who’s ever doubted themselves - you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. And we’re all doing the best we can ❤️ just because your baby may need a little more help achieving their milestones or a nudge in the right direction, this absolutely does not mean you’re failing. The fact that you’re out here looking for ways to help them shows you’re doing an amazing job! 🌟

With love,
Chloë x

💛 Every time a parent shares kind words like these, I’m reminded why I love what I do. Helping little ones find their strength and confidence is such a privilege.

Thank you Emily for your incredibly kind words! I’m forever grateful that I get to work with your gorgeous girl 🌟🥹

🤯 From floor to standing WITHOUT furniture 🤯

Have you ever watched your baby trying with all their might to stand themselves up in the middle of the room, but they just don’t quite manage it? Well, the algorithm has landed you in the right spot! 😃🥳

In this reel I’m walking you through a simple way to guide your baby away from the floor. It might look like a small step, but it’s actually a huge part of their development:

✨ Their balance system is firing (inner ear, vision + body awareness all working together)
✨ Muscles in their legs, hips, tummy, back (and even arms) are switching on to lift them
✨ Their brain is planning, coordinating and adjusting every second to keep them steady

Why it matters: when your baby can stand up in free space, their whole world opens up. They can suddenly see more, reach further, and explore with so much more confidence. 🌍💛

And here’s the best part in my opinion - you don’t need to wait until your baby has a gross motor delay to practise exercises like these. These little exercises are a great way for any parent to encourage development. They create a fun bonding experience, give your baby new skills to try, and offer you something proactive and meaningful to do together during playtime… and let’s face it, we all find ourselves scrambling about for activities from time to time right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cheer them on and give them safe chances to practise - you might be amazed at how quickly their strength, coordination and independence grow 😉

✨ People sometimes ask me why I chose paediatrics instead of sports or adult physio… and honestly, there are a million little reasons. But the biggest one? It’s the privilege of being a part of these tiny moments with these fabulous kiddos.

The first time they sit, roll, take a step, jump or climb 💖 When they get accepted to the academy or they perform like absolute demons on the pitch ⚽️🏈 When they’ve been consistent with their exercises between sessions, even though they struggled with motivation at first 🏋️‍♀️ When they’ve managed to gain that little bit more independent active movement than they had before, but it means they can now put their own shoes on 👟 all these little moments mean so much, and I get to cheer louder than anyone in the room 📣🥳 Their joy becomes mine. Their progress feels like my own. And before I know it, I’m not just “the physio”… I’m “Auntie Chloë” being invited to birthdays, sports events, and family BBQs 🥳

In sessions, I treat every child like they’re my own - because they bring so much sunshine into my world. Even on the trickier days, I’m grateful. Parents are trusting me with the most precious thing in their lives, and that’s an honour I’ll never take lightly 🙏

So yes, I could have taped ankles on the sidelines or worked in a clinic with grown-ups… but nothing compares to building bonds with these amazing little humans and being part of their story 💛

Because at the end of the day… where else do you get paid in cuddles, giggles, and the occasional sticker? 😉

Also, massive thank you to for these absolutely gorgeous snaps she got in clinic 🤩 what an absolute camera wizard!! ✨🪄📸

⚽🏉 Want to give your child the best possible start to the upcoming season?

Whether they’re chasing personal bests, starting their first competitive season, or just love their sport, how their body is moving now can shape their performance - and their injury risk - for months to come.

At RVCP, we’re now offering Pre-Season Sports Performance & Injury Prevention sessions, which are designed to help children and teens aged 8–18 move better, feel stronger and perform with confidence from day one.

It’s not just about preventing injuries (though that’s a big part of it ❤️‍🩹) - it’s about helping them reach their full potential with the right support for their growing body 💪

What we’ll do during their session:

👣 Full movement screening by a specialist paediatric physio to check flexibility, control, balance and joint alignment

💪 Strength, agility and coordination testing based on the sport they play

👟 Footwear advice – including what to look for when choosing football or rugby boots (if relevant)

🧠 Sport-specific injury risk breakdown, based on their age, training load, and body type

🏋️‍♂️ Tailored home exercise programme – designed to boost performance, support recovery and reduce the risk of injury across the season

We’ll also talk about how their training or growth may be affecting how they move, and give simple, practical strategies to help them feel their best on and off the pitch.

⸻

📍 Based in Skipton (despite our business name!)
🗓️ Limited availability – these pre-season sessions are booking up fast!

👉 Help your child step into the season stronger, faster and more prepared than ever.

Book their session now - and give them the support they need to thrive this season.
