Now available to trial at 💛

We've recently welcomed the BabyUp into the clinic so families can explore whether it may support their baby's comfort and positioning.

There is increasing discussion around upright positioning and how it may support babies experiencing reflux, colic or unsettled periods, while also encouraging engagement and interaction with caregivers.

If you're curious about whether positioning supports like this could help your little one, our physio team would love to chat🌈

One of the MOST common questions we get in clinic 👟✨

“What should I look for in my toddler’s shoe?”

We teamed up with our friends 👣💛 to break it down for you — here’s what we love to see:

✔️ Breathable materials (leather or mesh)
✔️ Firm, high & stable heel cup
✔️ Stable midfoot (not floppy through the arch)
✔️ Zero drop (heel + toe same height)
✔️ Wide toe box so little toes aren’t crowded
✔️ Textured outsole for grip
✔️ Velcro or fasteners for easy adjustability

Remember 🌈 not every child develops the same. If you have concerns about your child’s walking, balance or foot posture — chat with a paediatric physio or podiatrist.

Save this for your next shoe shop 🛍️👟💫

💦 Why we LOVE aquatic physio

The pool isn’t just fun - it’s powerful 🙌

Research (2024 review on aquatic therapy in children with disabilities) highlights how the properties of water can support movement, strength and participation.

🌊 Buoyancy = less pressure on joints
🌊 Hydrostatic pressure = more controlled movement
🌊 Warm water = relaxed muscles
🌊 Viscosity = natural resistance + sensory feedback

Some sessions focus on skill development (walking, balance, jumping 🏃‍♀️)
Others target mobility, endurance or gentle stretching

And because they’re kids… we use 🎲 games, 🧸 toys and 🎵 songs to keep it engaging and motivating!

Evidence-informed ✔️
Play-based ✔️
Child-centred ✔️

After almost 9 months of patience, persistence and teamwork, this beautiful family received their much-anticipated equipment - and what a moment it was

These wins are never "just equipment."
They're independence.
They're comfort.
They're opportunity.
They're new possibilities for play, participationand everyday life.

Huge shoutout to our amazing physio Hannah for walking alongside this family every step of the way and keeping the process smooth and supportive

And a big thank you to our wonderful suppliers who help make these life-changing moments happen.

For the past 3 years, Amelia has been a steady, caring and trusted support for so many of our Upside families 💗
As our senior physiotherapist, she helps kids build confidence in their movement every single day.

Congratulations on 3 years with Upside Kids Physio & Health to our super Mum - and wishing you all the best as you step into this beautiful next chapter welcoming baby number 4🤍🌸

Standalone milestone checklists (like “can your baby sit, walk or talk yet?”) have limited validity as screening tools for developmental delay.
They’re helpful for surveillance and conversation, but they’re not designed for diagnosis or management.

Paediatric physiotherapists bring a different set of eyes - analysing the why and the how behind a child’s movement, not just whether a milestone is ticked off.
