👣 Is your child still walking on their toes? ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛 Toe walking is common in toddlers learning to walk 🌈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, it’s a good idea to get them assessed if they:
⚡ Can’t walk flat‑footed
😖 Experience pain in their feet, calves, or knees
⏳ Are older than 2 years and still toe walking
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Early support can help improve balance, strength, and confidence in movement 💪💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Paediatric Physiotherapist Rachel has written a great blog on toe walking, along with a helpful parent/carer handout.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👟 Well-fitting shoes are more important than you might think! 🌈

Shoes that don’t fit properly can cause:
⚡ Blisters or sore feet
🏃 Compensatory running or walking patterns
🦵 Extra stress on knees and hips
🦶 Toe or foot deformities over time
😖 Pain that affects play, sport, or everyday movement
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our paediatric physiotherapist Emily has shared her top tips for checking shoe fit, so your child’s feet, knees, and hips are supported and comfortable. ✅

If your child is still experiencing pain, trips, or unusual movement patterns, don’t wait - contact us today! Our team would love to help keep your child moving confidently & pain free 💛

⚽️Back to school often means back to ALL the sports for some kids 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏀🏊‍♀️ It’s exciting… but it can also be a big load on growing bodies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few key things to keep in mind as kids return to multiple sports 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😴 Sleep matters
Most kids need 8–10 hours of sleep minimum to recover, grow and perform at their best.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍌 Fuel = energy
Increased training means increased nutrition requirements.
Think pre and post training snacks, plus more food across the day to keep energy levels up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤝 Talk to coaches
If your child is in multiple sports, liaise with coaches early to help avoid overload and reduce injury risk in the first few weeks back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛑 Rest is not optional
Training + rest = improved performance (and happier kids!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your child is experiencing pain, niggles, fatigue, or isn’t getting back to where they were before the break, reach out to our team, we’d love to help them return to sport feeling strong and confident 💙

✨ Strong glutes = strong dancers 🩰

When we talk about dance performance, everyone thinks feet, turnout and flexibility…
🥁 But one of the biggest game-changers is actually ... 🥁

🎉 Your glutes 🎉

Your glutes are the powerhouse muscles that help with:
💥 Jumps and elevation
🌀 Turns and control
🧍 Balance and stability
🦵 Hip and knee alignment
⏳ Injury prevention and longevity

When they’re weak or not firing properly, other areas try to pick up the slack (hello hip flexors, knees, calves and lower back 😩).
That’s when we start seeing niggles, fatigue, poor control in landings, and those “mystery” aches that won’t go away.

Strong glutes help dancers:
✨ generate more power
✨ hold technique for longer
✨ improve stability and control
✨ recover better between classes
✨ keep dancing for years, not just seasons

Because it’s not just about performing well now, it’s about staying on the floor long term 💛

If your dancer is dealing with hip, knee or back pain, struggling with jumps or turns, or wants to build strength safely, our physio team can help with targeted, dance-specific programs.

📩 Get in touch or book via the link in our bio — we’d love to help them dance stronger and longer.
