HYPERMOBILITY! Our physios, OT and orthotist team are seeing so many little ones with hypermobility. Elbows that bend the wrong way, knees that bend backwards too far, feet that collapse inwards, and skin that is super soft and stretchy, are just some of the obvious problems. Other challenges include joint pain, fatigue, reflux, hernias, digestive issues as well as bladder and bowel issues. These little ones often have sensory processing difficulties and developmental delay. If your little one seems usually weak and 'floppy' relative to his or her peers give us a call and let us guide you on how to support your little one.

Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT) is used to help babies and children improve how their brain and body works together for movement, posture and daily activities. Early intervention ensures neuroplasticity!
NDT is done by physiotherapists, occupational therapists and even speech therapists!

Did you know that the brain shows the most plasticity in the first 3 months. Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy in high risk babies allows re-mapping of neural pathways where there has been damage to existing pathways. Most babies aren't offered therapy at the time when the brain is most responsive to intervention. Screening before 6 weeks of age in high risk babies is critical to identify risk of neurological challenges. Our physios and OTs are highly skilled and experienced in prematurity and birth trauma. We dont work on the body- we work on the brain!
