👶 Baby Development in the First 3 Months – When Should You See a Paediatric Physiotherapist?
The first few months of life are very important for your baby’s development. Every baby develops at their own pace, but some signs may suggest that extra support could be helpful.
You may benefit from a physiotherapy assessment if your baby:
▫️ prefers looking only to one side
▫️ dislikes or strongly resists tummy time
▫️ seems very stiff or very floppy
▫️ cries excessively or struggles to settle
▫️ has sleep difficulties
▫️ develops a flat spot on the head
▫️ arches backwards frequently
▫️ has feeding difficulties or body tension during feeding
▫️ struggles to bring hands to the mouth or to the middle, or move symmetrically
Early physiotherapy support can help improve comfort, movement quality, positioning, symmetry, motor development and parent confidence.
Sometimes small changes introduced early can make a big difference later on 💛
If you are worried about your baby’s development or simply want reassurance, an early assessment can be very helpful.

Crawling – why is it so important? 👶➡️🐾

Crawling is a key stage in a child’s development - and it’s definitely worth supporting 👍

Why?
🔹 Postural control – strengthens the trunk, shoulders, and hips, building stability and body control
🔹 Coordination – develops reciprocal movement (the foundation for walking and running)
🔹 Vision – supports eye coordination and visual tracking
🔹 Brain development – integrates both hemispheres (important for attention, learning, and motor planning)
🔹 Sensory & balance – improves body awareness and spatial orientation.

👉 Even if a child starts walking early, it’s worth coming back to crawling through play - it’s an investment in future development.

✨ A new and exciting chapter begins ✨

I’m incredibly happy to share that I’ve officially been welcomed into the PIMT family and have started my instructor pathway.

This is just the beginning — there is a lot of hard work, dedication and commitment ahead of me. But I feel truly inspired to grow, learn and, one day, become a confident and knowledgeable teacher, just like those who have guided me on my journey.

My goal is not only to deepen my understanding, but also to be able to share meaningful knowledge and practical skills that truly make a difference — helping children with multiple challenges reach their full potential.

Feeling grateful, motivated and excited for what’s ahead 💫

Sensory Integration is not just about play – it’s about building the foundations for everyday functioning.

Through carefully structured activities, we support children in developing body awareness, balance, coordination, and motor planning. Tasks that may look simple – like reaching, maintaining position, or shifting weight – require complex processing of multisensory input and effective motor control.

For children with neurological conditions, these systems often don’t work together efficiently. This can impact posture, stability, use of hands, and overall independence.

In therapy, we create opportunities for the brain and body to “learn” how to work together more effectively – improving not only movement, but also confidence and participation in daily life.

Movement is something many children experience naturally every day – running, cycling, and playing without limitations 🚴‍♂️

For some children, however, access to these experiences is not straightforward. This is why supportive equipment can make such a meaningful difference.

A gait trainer provides an opportunity for children to experience movement in an upright position – often something they would not otherwise have access to. It is not only therapy, but also an opportunity for independence, exploration, and most importantly… genuine joy 😊

You can clearly see it in their engagement and expressions – when a child can actively participate in movement, interact with their environment, and experience a new level of freedom.
The benefits are wide-ranging:
• support for muscle and joint function
• improved postural control
• stimulation of cardiovascular and respiratory systems
• sensory and cognitive development
• increased confidence and sense of independence

There are now more opportunities than ever for children with additional needs to access movement and truly enjoy it 💙

And that is what matters most to us.

✨ Small steps, big progress ✨

Every therapy session is a chance to build strength, confidence and new skills. Sometimes the changes are subtle, but over time they can make a huge difference in a child’s independence and quality of life.
Today’s session was full of smiles, effort and determination — exactly what paediatric physiotherapy is all about 🫶

At Alex’s Place – Paediatric Physiotherapy, we focus on supporting each child’s individual potential through specialised therapy, play, fun and encouragement.
