Still smiling after our RVCP Christmas Party 💖🎄

What a way to close the year ✨

Bringing our patients and parents together, playing games, laughing, dancing, crafting, winning prizes and just being together in an inclusive space felt incredibly special 💫 Every single child on my caseload has worked SO hard this year, week on week, session after session - and they truly deserved an evening that was just about fun, play and celebration 🩵

I am endlessly grateful to our party sponsors 🎁
, you absolutely blew us away with the INCREDIBLE number of Christmas presents for our kiddos 🤯🎄 (and for contributing toys to our raffle too). and , thank you for helping us create such a fabulous raffle 🎟️✨ with every penny raised going towards a brand new therapy swing for clinic 🧸 I can’t wait to see all the little faces light up when it gets used 😃

Huge thank you to some of our gorgeous parents and grandparents who helped make the day what it was 💕
Gill, Ryan, Jan and Emily - thank you for contributing towards food 🍕 soft play 🤸 craft supplies 🎨 and even DJ’ing 🎧 This village is something else 🫶

And to my amazing VA, Annaliese .co 💻✨ thank you for helping bring this event together, from finding the venue to managing all of the event comms. I genuinely couldn’t do this without you 🤍

To every patient and parent who has trusted me to be part of their child’s physiotherapy journey, thank you 💖 RVCP is what it is because of you. The families, the trust, the relationships, the hard work, the laughs, the tears and the wins 🥹🤍 I feel incredibly lucky to be part of so many families’ lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you 🤍

Let’s talk about “wait and see” 👀

Is it always wrong?
No.

Does the NHS need criteria so it doesn’t drown in referrals and run out of money by Tuesday?
Also yes.

So there is a time and a place for waiting and seeing.

BUT from a developmental point of view…
If a parent is worried about their baby, an assessment is never a bad idea.

Babies don’t “grow out of” things by accident.
They just practise whatever their body can do.
On repeat.
All day.
With zero concern for future biomechanics.

An assessment doesn’t mean:
• Your baby is broken
• You’ve missed something
• You’re not doing a GREAT job

It usually means:
• You have a happier baby because they learn new skills that allows them to explore
• You feel happier as a parent because you have now have play based exercises you can do to proactively help your baby
• You feel much calmer because you’ve had the reassurance you needed and know you’re on the right path for your baby’s gross motor development

So if your gut is saying, “Hmm… something’s a bit off” – listen to it.
Worst case? You leave reassured.
Best case? You’ve helped your baby early and saved yourself months of Googling at 2am.

And honestly… early reassurance is cheaper than therapy and caffeine ☕😉

Just your friendly children’s physio doing ESSENTIAL research 😌😂

If my kids and I can’t break it… congrats, it makes the clinic cut 💪

Quality control at its finest.

Our new uniforms have just dropped and I’m in OBSESSED 💛

Pastel physio squad tees and sweatshirts with ALL the inclusive little details - embroidered and printed in different colours (because my ADHD brain loves a bit of variety!).

I wanted to design something that my little clan of physio kiddos could get in on too should they wish to! 😃🥹 because it’s so important to feel like you’re a part of something, and nothing screams “community” quite like matchy matchy T-shirts, am I right?! 😃 We can even get this printed on little baby T-shirts 😭💖

Huge thank you to and for bringing this to life.

Clinic days just got a glow up ✨

“Mummy!! I’ve got a well good idea! Can me, Evie and Jack make a video to show all your followers clinic?? And pretend that we’re YouTubers?! 😃 and and can I say 6-7?!? 😁”

“Erm… sure? Go for it Noah 😅”

This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever been online… but I almost feel like I’d be doing other parents a disservice if I didn’t post this. So please be kind 🙏

Within the past week alone (and I only work three days a week right now), I’ve had five mums say things like:
“I just wish I’d contacted you sooner.”
“I honestly didn’t know something was wrong.”
“I feel like I’ve been letting my baby down.”

Hearing this breaks my heart 💔

Because I get it.

You love your baby more than anything in the world. You’d do absolutely anything to protect them. But parenting is hard. It’s messy and emotional and beautiful all at once. Sometimes we just need a safe space - somewhere we can let the tears flow, be heard without judgement, and be reminded that we’re doing a good job.

The video you see here was me at my lowest. Jack was cluster feeding every 20 - 30 minutes, barely sleeping, and struggling with tummy pain. Every time I put him down, he cried. The older two were exhausted at the end of term, and I hadn’t had more than a few hours of sleep per night in weeks.

And I felt the mum guilt hard. I remember thinking I must be doing something wrong. Why couldn’t I settle him? Why did everything feel so overwhelming? I felt like I was failing as a mum - even though deep down, I knew I was doing my best.

I filmed this moment and sent it to James as a reminder that this too shall pass. That even in the hardest, most sleep-deprived days, there’s still so much love. So much beauty.

To every parent who’s ever doubted themselves - you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. And we’re all doing the best we can ❤️ just because your baby may need a little more help achieving their milestones or a nudge in the right direction, this absolutely does not mean you’re failing. The fact that you’re out here looking for ways to help them shows you’re doing an amazing job! 🌟

With love,
Chloë x

⚽🏉 Want to give your child the best possible start to the upcoming season?

Whether they’re chasing personal bests, starting their first competitive season, or just love their sport, how their body is moving now can shape their performance - and their injury risk - for months to come.

At RVCP, we’re now offering Pre-Season Sports Performance & Injury Prevention sessions, which are designed to help children and teens aged 8–18 move better, feel stronger and perform with confidence from day one.

It’s not just about preventing injuries (though that’s a big part of it ❤️‍🩹) - it’s about helping them reach their full potential with the right support for their growing body 💪

What we’ll do during their session:

👣 Full movement screening by a specialist paediatric physio to check flexibility, control, balance and joint alignment

💪 Strength, agility and coordination testing based on the sport they play

👟 Footwear advice – including what to look for when choosing football or rugby boots (if relevant)

🧠 Sport-specific injury risk breakdown, based on their age, training load, and body type

🏋️‍♂️ Tailored home exercise programme – designed to boost performance, support recovery and reduce the risk of injury across the season

We’ll also talk about how their training or growth may be affecting how they move, and give simple, practical strategies to help them feel their best on and off the pitch.



📍 Based in Skipton (despite our business name!)
🗓️ Limited availability – these pre-season sessions are booking up fast!

👉 Help your child step into the season stronger, faster and more prepared than ever.

Book their session now - and give them the support they need to thrive this season.
