We often think that we are the ones helping them. We think we’re the ones doing the favour, giving them opportunities—but the truth is…

What people may see is that I’ve helped these children and their families.

It may look like I’ve given them a better life.

The thank-yous never stop, and there’s no shortage of congratulations for this journey.

But in reality, it is these children who have helped me the most.

It is their parents who have taught me so much and shown me so many lessons.

What I have received is far greater than what I could ever give.

Truly, they are children of heaven—bringing so many blessings to those around them. I believe the رزق (blessings and sustenance) I still have today comes, in no small part, from these children and their families.

It may seem like I am the one giving, but in truth, I am the one receiving so much more. May we continue this journey together like a family. The love I have for the Tender Touch family—only Allah knows. I may not always be able to express it well in words, or even through actions, but in my heart, being together with all of you is one of life’s greatest blessings.

Selalu kita ingat kita lah yang bantu mereka. Kita ingat kita yang do the favour, beri peluang kepada mereka tapi hakikatnya.....

Yang mungkin orang nampak, saya dah bantu anak2 ni dan keluarga mereka.

Yang mungkin nampak, saya beri kehidupan lebih baik untuk mereka.

Ucapan terima kasih tak putus2 dari semua.

Tak kurang ucapan tahniah atas perjuangan ini.

Tapi sebenarnya anak2 ini lah yang banyak bantu saya.

Ibubapa mereka lah yang beri banyak tunjuk ajar dan teladan buat saya.

Apa yang saya terima jauh lebih banyak dari apa yang saya mampu beri.

Betulla mereka ini anak syurga. Bawa banyak nikmat pada org sekeliling mereka. Saya yakin rezeki saya masih bertahan hari ni, tak kurang datang dari anak2 ini dan keluarga mereka.

Nampak macam saya yang memberi tapi hakikatnya saya penerima yang lebih banyak. Semoga kita terus sama2 bersama seperti keluarga. Kasih sayang buat keluarga Tender Touch, hanya Allah yang tau. Mungkin saya tak pandai sampaikan dengan kata2, bahkan perbuatan pun tidak, tp dalam hati ini bersama semua adalah nikmat kehidupan yang tak terhingga.

Today I’d like to share with parents about the various therapy tools available in paediatric physiotherapy. I often get parents asking whether I use certain methods. Do I use the Bobath technique? But more recently, the common question is, “What approach do you use? DMI, Bobath, or CME?”

Whenever I get these questions, I smile. Alhamdulillah, it’s good to see parents doing their own research about their child’s therapy. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking these questions. It’s understandable, especially when many therapy centres highlight specific therapy tools in their promotions.

But what I explained to this mother is that all of these are simply “therapy tools” — options for us as therapists to use. It doesn’t mean we must depend on them. The foundations of these tools were already taught to us during our degree training.

In fact, all these tools are built on those same foundations. They are good and widely used, but there are many other tools we can choose from based on our analysis during the assessment. There are simply too many tools to list — and this is just within neuro paediatrics.

So there’s no need to worry. What matters most is meeting a qualified physiotherapist who has a strong interest in empowering the children to thrive.

At Tender Touch Paediatric Rehab, we don’t rely on any single specific tool. However, we are aware of and familiar with many of them. We may lean slightly towards the Bobath concept, but not exclusively. Our approach is unique, but it is still grounded in the core foundations of physiotherapy. There’s nothing unusual — just a more structured system in how we apply it.

Hope this is helpful.

Hari ni saya nak berkongsi dgn ibu tentang pelbagai terapi tools yang ada dalam physiotherapy kanak-kanak. Selalu saja ada ibubapa yang tanya saya sama ada saya ada guna method tertentu? Ada guna teknik bobath? Tp yg paling terkini org s**a tanya saya, puan guna apa ya? DMI ke bobath ke atau CME?

Bila soalan2 ni dtg, saya senyum lebar. Alhamdulillah ibu ibu ni, ada buat research mengenai terapi anak. Tiada salahnya dengan soalan2 begitu. Kerana kita nampak dalam iklan kebanyakan pusat terapi tertumpu kepada jenis2 therapy tools yang mereka gunakan.

Tp saya explain pada ibu ini, ini semuanya adalah 'therapy tools' yang menjadi option untuk kami therapist gunakan. Tp tidak semestinya kami perlu bergantung kepada tools2 ini. Kerana semua tools terapi yang dasar sudah kami pelajari semasa belajar degree dulu.

Dan semua tools ini datang dari dasar2 ini juga. Tools tools ini bagus, dan digunakan meluas tp banyak lagi tools lain yang kami boleh pilih berdasarkan analysis kepada assessment yang kami buat. Kerana tools yang ada ni terlalu banyak. Nak list kat sini pun banyak. Ni baru citer neuro paeds. Jadi tak perlu risau, yang penting jumpala physiotherapist bertauliah yang lebih cenderung utk kanak2.

Di Tender Touch Paediatric Rehab kami tidak guna specific tool. Tapi kami aware dgn tools2 yang ada. Mungkin lebih cenderung dengan konsep bobath tp bukan sepenuhnya. Kami unik pada approach kami, tp itupun adalah datangnya dari dasar/asas physiotherapy itu sendiri. Tiada yang pelik, cuma lebih tersusun systemnya.

Semoga bermanfaat

This time, a discussion with a mother at Tender Touch Paediatric Rehab. We were chatting while observing her child, who can now walk and attend school. However, the walking pattern is not yet optimal.

So my role is to help improve the child’s walking by strengthening the muscles, improving balance, and enhancing posture.

What approach do I use? I incorporate crawling and kneeling to refine and improve the walking posture. That’s what we discussed—I shared how grateful I am to have a mother like her, who understands, trusts, and believes in what I am trying to do. Sometimes, we need to regress in order to progress. The goal of training through crawling is not to take away the ability to walk, but to improve the quality of walking.

Crawling strengthens the body muscles, legs, and knees, while also stimulating the brain through left-right coordination. We can clearly see the results in this child. Day by day, the child becomes better at stabilizing the body, and when walking, gains a better understanding of the function of the knees and their role in movement. This makes it easier for me to progress further toward running and jumping later on.

But therapy, no matter what, is not magic. It cannot be achieved in a day, a week, or even a month. It takes years. However, consistency leads to more lasting outcomes. That is what truly matters—not achieving something today only to lose it tomorrow. This is because we are not just working with muscles, but also with the brain. InshaaAllah, patience is beautiful.

Hope this is beneficial.

Perbincangan kali ini dgn ibu di Tender Touch Paediatric Rehab. Sembang2 sambil tgk anak ini yang kini dah boleh berjalan dan pergi sekolah. Cuma pattern berjalannya belum cukup baik.
Jadi tugas saya untuk bantu dia boleh berjalan dengan otot yang lebih kuat, balance lebih baik dan posture yang lebih baik.

Apa pendekatan saya? Saya gunakan merangkak dan melutut untuk perbaiki dan kemaskan posture berjalan dia. Tu yang kami sembang, saya bagitau saya syukur ada ibu yang memahami mcm dia. Yang percaya dan faham apa yang saya cuba lakukan. Adakalanya, kita perlu regress to progress. Tujuan kita latih dalam merangkak, bukan utk menidakkan dia berjalan tp utk mencantikkan jalan.

Merangkak menguatkan otot badan, kaki, lutut serta meransang otak bergerak kiri kanan. Hasilnya kami dapat lihat sendiri pada anak ini. Makin hari dia makin pandai stabilkan badan, bila berjalan dia makin mengenal fungsi lutut dan tugasannya ketika berjalan. Jadi lebih mudah untuk saya progress nanti utk dia berlari dan melompat.

Tapi proses terapi, mcm mana pun bukan magic. Bukan boleh capai sehari, seminggu malahan bukan sebulan. Makan tahun. Tp konsistensi akan beri pencapaian yang lebih tahan lama. Itu yang penting. Bukan hari ni boleh besok dah x blh balik. Sbb kita bukan sekadar berurusan dengan otot, tapi dgn otak. InshaaAllah sabar itu indah.

It’s been a while since I last shared. Entering 2026, there’s been so much on my mind that I didn’t know where to begin. So today, I’m just starting—no need to wait for the “perfect” theme.

One thing I’ve always been passionate about is observing baby movements. I love analyzing every detail—the posture, the function, and the beauty within each movement. To me, infant development is an art that we must understand through the science behind it. Why does each movement exist? What is its purpose? Nothing is without meaning.

Every day, I video call my nieces and nephews. Watching their development unfold in real time is truly beautiful. There are so many things we often overlook or take for granted—sometimes even dismissing certain stages as unnecessary. But surely, nothing in these movements is created without purpose.

This photo shows my niece entering the crawling phase. All we do is provide the right environment and stimulation—and they show us their own magic.

To me, this skill is just as important for children with developmental delays. Yes, they may need additional support and stimulation. But it would be unfair if we deny them the opportunity to go through these stages at their own pace and ability.

This is the foundation of a child’s social and physical development. It’s not about rushing them to reach certain milestones, as if walking is everything. We need to stop viewing their development through an adult lens.

Eventually, they will get there. But denying them the chance to explore—especially during floor-based stages—is a missed opportunity in their development.

Appropriate stimulation helps them move through each stage more smoothly and can reduce complications later as their bodies grow and go through puberty.

Hope this is beneficial.

Lamanya tak sharing. Masuk 2026 banyak yg saya fikirkan. Tu yg sampai tak tertulis2. Tak tau mana nak tulis dulu. Jadi hari ni kita nak sharing. Nak tgu ikut tema, sampai ke sudah.

Satu minat saya, saya sangat s**a tengok pergerakan bayi dan analisa setiap satu bahagian. Saya s**a tengok keindahan pergerakan, posture dan fungsi setiap pergerakan itu. Perkembangan bayi itu bagaikan satu seni yang perlu kita kupas sains disebaliknya, memahami kenapa setiap pergerakan dalam perkembangan bayi itu perlu.

Setiap hari saya video call dengan anak2 sedara saya. Dan melihat perkembangan mereka, sambil menikmati setiap satu peringkat, fungsi dan pergerakan semuanya indah sekali. Banyak yang kita abaikan, ambil mudah malah menganggap ada peringkat yang tak perlu pun. Mustahil Tuhan cipta pergerakan ini sia sia.

Gambar ni gambar anak sedara saya nak masuk fasa merangkak. Kita rangsang dengan menyediakan suasana yang sesuai, dia tunjuk kita magicnya sendiri. Bagi saya kemahiran ini tidak kurang pada anak dengan kelewatan perkembangan. Mereka mungkin memerlukan ransangan tambahan, bantuan untuk sampai ke tahap ini tapi kita kejam kalau kita tak beri dia peluang melalui fasa ini mengikut kemampuan mereka. Inilah sosial development bayi. Bukan untuk kita kejar untuk cepat segalanya dengan alasan kemandirian sosial. Henti bawa level mereka ke level dewasa dimana berjalan adalah segalanya.

Eventually iya, kita akan sampai ke peringkat itu. Tp menidakkan fasa yang mereka harus diberi peluang untuk explore lantai itu kurang tepat. Ransangan perkembangan yang tepat dapat bantu mereka melalui peringkat tumbesaran sampai dewasa lebih mudah. Dan mengurangkan komplikasi bila tubuh lebih berat dan melalui puberty.
