You might be a pediatric PT if:

🦀You know all the animal walks and perform them daily
🫧 You recognize bubbles have magic powers
🦶You see birthday party fun as gross motor activities
🎾 You get excited over dollar store squish balls
🚀 You practice flying daily
🐒 You’ve mastered the side sit
🪑You spend most of your time on the floor or in little people chairs
🦽You have collections of equipment to try thanks to amazing families who donate after their kiddos grow out of it

Have I mentioned I love what I do 🥳💚

PT vs. OT 🤷‍♀️ What’s the Difference? ✨🧠

Pediatric Physical Therapy (PT) 🏃‍♂️ ➡️ Big movements ➡️ Strength, balance & coordination ➡️ Think: crawling, walking, jumping!

Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) ✍️ ➡️ Everyday skills ➡️ Fine motor, sensory & self-care ➡️ Think: grasping, dressing, playing!

Different focuses, same goal 💚helping
kids grow, move, and thrive!

🎉Goals for 2026: add outpatient OT services at Kiwi Kids

Please reach out if you feel your child would benefit from outpatient OT services!!

Check out this Kiwi Kid working on his muscles in preparation to help Santa 🎅🏼

What’s he doing?
🍥Platform swing for core strength & vestibular training
🍥Scooter board for core strength & bilateral coordination
🍥Tall kneel with the piggy bank for core strength and fine motor
🍥Prone walk outs with the therapy ball for upper body strength and trunk strength

All needed to help carry those big packages to the sleigh 🛷🎁🎄

When you come in with a plan, but the little ones have plans of their own 💁💡

Magic can still happen ✨

Here’s to letting the kiddos take the lead each session!

Not just to march like a penguin 🐧

Walking with flippers requires exaggerated:
hip and knee flexion 🦵
Ankle dorsiflexion 🦶
& Hip external rotation 🕺

And usually provokes a good laugh!

Thankful always for this crew, for traditions, for being a part of a small community that does big things, and of course for movement 🤸🏻‍♀️

I had the opportunity to step back into a 1920s sports therapy room when my family visited Singer Castle located on Dark Island in Alexandria Bay, New York this past summer.

I’m so thankful for this profession and how far physical therapy has come, yet find it so intriguing that even a century ago, people were seeking out ways to move better and feel better. The overarching goal of PT has not changed. My goal for your kiddo is to get them moving better (whatever movement that might be!)

Here’s to progress, to play, and the 💚tiny💚triumphs then and now 🕰️✨

Lateral protective extension 👋

A postural reflex in babies where they essentially catch themselves from tipping over with a hand out to the side

This reflex is what helps us achieve that independent sitting milestone and is typically seen between 5-9 months

🏆 Mastering the sit one wobble at a time

11/07/2025

As a PT I’ve always struggled with rest.
Of course I give rest breaks, but I always feel like there is something productive we can be doing during that rest time, whether it’s a passive stretch or a position to optimize posture and mobility.

Then I took this course on the concept of 24-hour postural care and therapeutic lying and realized I’m not just a crazy PT who can’t stop, but I know and want families to know that our bodies are always working, whether actively working or passively working at rest (think gravity).

🤯Our posture when we are resting is the biggest predictor of our posture in sitting, standing, and walking.

So next time you or your kiddo is “resting”, think what’s passively working at that moment.
Are the hips neutral (not rotated)
Are the knees relaxed and straight (not always flexed)
Is the trunk centered (not rotated)

Use pillows and blankets to fill the gaps and facilitate a comfortable yet productive resting position!
