The Olympics are wrapping up.
We’re counting down to the Paralympics. 🥇🔥

And it got us thinking…
If pediatric physio was an Olympic sport, we’d absolutely medal.

No question.
Podium stance.
National anthem playing.
Full gold medal energy.

But here’s the real question …
What would YOU give us a medal for? 👇
(Be specific. We can take it.)

If you’re putting ankle weights on your kiddo to “tire them out”…
please don’t.

Yes, we sometimes use ankle weights in clinic as a very specific tool to help address an atypical gait pattern. It’s targeted. It’s assessed. It’s monitored.
But using them at home just to burn energy?

That can actually change your child’s walking pattern, reinforce compensations, and create problems we then have to undo.

There are SO many better ways:
✔️ Mini trampoline
✔️ Obstacle courses
✔️ Walking up and down hills
✔️ Animal walks
✔️ Playground climbing

Movement? YES.
Random weights? No thank you.

Let me tell you something 👀
Wait!!!

A tongue tie release is not Amazon Prime.
You don’t need it in 24 hours.

It’s not “snip and suddenly perfect latch.”

Timing matters.
Skill matters.
Prep matters.
Aftercare matters.

It’s a tool — not a magic wand.

Slow down. Build the right plan.

The future of infant feeding support is connected, collaborative, interdisciplinary practice. Feeding challenges are often multifactorial and symptoms don’t exist in isolation.
Families deserve care that connects the dots!
Lactation consultants bring expertise in:
🤱 Feeding mechanics & milk transfer
🍼 Positioning & feeding cues
💬 Parent education & support

Physiotherapists bring expertise in:
🦴 Posture, alignment & movement
🌀 Tension, asymmetry & reflexes
🤸‍♀️ Functional body and oral motor patterns
Together, the picture becomes clearer and families get better care.

Soothers absolutely have a place, they can be incredibly regulating and supportive.

But once your child is calm? That’s your cue to take it out.

Constant soother use can impact oral motor development, tongue posture, head/neck alignment, and feeding skills — especially when paired with poorly designed soothers.

Soothing tool ✔️
Mouth accessory ❌

(And yes… not all soothers are created equal.)

Me, reading a DM about a kid sleeping for the first time in forever:
