✨ MEET THE TEAM ✨

Introducing Sister Nombulelo Ndlovu💛

On this International Nursing Day we celebrate our wonderful practice nurse. Sister Nombu is a trained nursing sister with over 10 years of experience caring for women in both public and private healthcare settings.

For the past five years, she has been serving as an independent midwife, providing holistic, compassionate care to women through every stage of life — including supporting families with home births.

In addition, Sr Nombu runs a well-baby clinic where she administers scheduled infant immunisations. She offers both government vaccines and access to private vaccines when needed.

🔥 Burns Awareness Week: Protect Little Ones This Winter 🔥

Winter brings warmth… but also hidden dangers for babies and children—especially those with reduced sensation who may not feel heat or pain as quickly.

👶 Common Burn Risks to Watch Out For:�• Hot water bottles & electric blankets�• Heaters, fireplaces & gas�• Kettles, hot drinks & soup bowls�• Bath water that’s too hot�• Stove tops & oven doors�• Hair straighteners & curling irons�• Heated wheat bags

⚠️ Extra Care for Children with Poor Sensation:�Children who have reduced sensitivity may not react quickly to heat—making them more vulnerable to serious burns. Never leave hot drinks or microwave heat bags on the laps of children with reduced sensation (e.g spina bifida, peripheral neuropathies, spinal cord injuries etc.)

💡 Simple Winter Safety Tips:�✔️ Always test bath water with your elbow before placing a child in. Run cold water first & then add hot�✔️ Keep hot drinks and foods out of reach�✔️ Never place hot water bottles directly on skin—wrap them & monitor�✔️ Supervise children around heaters, gas and open flames�✔️ Turn pot handles inward on the stove, keep kettle cords away from counter edges�✔️ Avoid using electric blankets for young children�✔️ Check skin regularly for redness or burns, especially if your child may not feel pain�✔️ Dress children in layers instead of relying on direct heat sources

❤️ Physio Tip:�For children with sensory challenges, build a routine of visual skin checks and teach safe temperature awareness where possible. Do not allow barefoot walking on bricks on hot days.

Let’s keep our little ones safe, warm, and burn-free this winter 🧣✨

March is World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month 💚

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent neurological disorders that affects the development of movement, posture and coordination. It is caused by an injury or difference in the developing foetal or infant brain, often before or shortly after birth. CP is not progressive.

The motor disorder of CP is often accompanied by difficulties with sensory processing, cognition and/or communication and possibly epilepsy and secondary musculoskeletal problems.

Every child with CP is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and incredible potential. Early support can make a meaningful difference in helping children build skills, confidence, and independence.

Paediatric physiotherapists play an important role in supporting children with CP by helping them develop movement skills, improve strength and balance, and find the best ways to participate in everyday activities like playing, learning, and exploring their world.

This month we celebrate the resilience of children with CP and the dedication of their families, while continuing to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and support every child in reaching their full potential. 💚
