We are offering Netball pre-season strengthening classes for junior Netball players.

Contact us on 0221551677 or info@aucklandchildrensphysio.co.nz.

We have availability for our Tuesday and Wednesday school holiday program. It is a great way to build overall strength, endurance and regulation skills to help kick start term 1 at school. We only have the two days on offer so limited spaces available. The sessions will be run by our experienced team and Jacki from POP Occupational therapy (an amazing Paediatric OT).

Great research is continuing to support what we do in our practice. Hypervibe rehab fun.

There's been a lot of talk recently about the benefits of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) for children with Cerebral Palsy. This RCT with 34 children aged 6 to 12 years, acting as their own controls assessing the benefits of side alternating vibration therapy (not all vibration is created equal!). The RCT confirmed that confirms that side-alternating Vibration therapy has positive effects on mobility, gross motor function, body composition, muscle function, and quality of life, independent of frequencies tested. In addition, kids did better after 20 session than after 12 (dosage matters). If you want to find out more about WBV parameters in kids, take a listen to Susan Hasting's podcast where we dig into the the nuances of vibration and application here > https://www.wiredondevelopment.com/single-post/cutting-edge-practice-for-pediatric-physical-and-occupational-therapists-with-dr-susan-hastings
