Today, Mag's went to visit smiley Max at home to review his equipment and adjust his standing frame.
We love the Standz standing frame by . It allows hip abduction in standing for a prolonged stretch.

Why is standing so important?
-Enhances bone density
-Imprives circulation
-Prolonged stretch for tight muscles
-Enables eye level interaction
-Creates access to different activities, opportunities and experiences
-Offers a change of position as part of a postural management programme.

A lovely surprise this week from a physiotherapy student. I am so passionate about my job as a paediatric physiotherapist and so happy that my passion inspires other to follow a similar path.

Issey you are fantastic and your success is down to you… so fabulous to work with someone who is so motivated and takes every opportunity provided to grow and develop.

Just finished a much needed yoga session with

A poem was read by Dana Faulds titled “Walk slowly”.

It was the perfect reflection of my MAES Advanced Course and what it means to be a a MAES therapist.

In our field, there’s often an unspoken pressure to constantly “do more,” to be the “best” therapist and to rush to solutions, to come up with an answer.

But just like the poem reminds us, sometimes that very pressure can actually hinder us. It can stop us from truly seeing and feeling what’s needed in the moment.

The week in Croatia on the ART MAES Course has reinforced where we need to be - we need to slow down, pause, and be truly conscious in how we approach every child’s difficulties. It’s about taking the time to think, analyse, and be present, rather than rushing to fix. This allows for deeper understanding and ultimately, more effective treatment where the child makes the changes rather than the therapist.

It’s a continuous practice and a focus for me in the coming weeks ✨

Excited for day 4 of the Advanced MAES course. I completed this course last year and I’ve been asked why I am completing the same course this year (sunny Croatia is a bonus!)

I am super passionate about investing in my professional development, just as families invest in me to support their children’s therapeutic needs and grow their potential.

Each MAES course, particularly the advanced course, uncovers new insights and a different perspective in treating children with neurological conditions. It’s an opportunity to sharpen my observational skills, refine my clinical reasoning skills and explore different treatment approaches.

Being the best therapist I can be means never stopping the pursuit of knowledge! I am so lucky to have found a job I am passionate about and so privileged to work with so many amazing families and young people.

We now have 3 MAES trained therapists in our team.

A ‘game changer’ – what an amazing thing to hear! 🙌 This testimonial truly makes my day. It’s been such a joy and a privilege working with this incredible family.

Seeing the twins’ progress over our sessions has been incredibly rewarding, and they were a big part of the reason why I wanted to invest in attending another Advanced MAES course here in sunny Croatia. Their journey inspires me to continuously refine my skills and to continual develop as a physiotherapist!

I’m incredibly passionate about my job and the team I work with. There are now 3 of us who are trained in MAES therapy at Tots2Teens Therapy!
