🎄✨ The festive spirit has officially arrived at the clinic!
Today’s session was full of joy, teamwork and a little Christmas magic. 🎅🎁
Who said physiotherapy can’t be fun?
With Santa's hats, cheerful energy and great exercises, we’re getting stronger and more festive at the same time! 💪✨

Wishing everyone a season filled with warmth, progress and smiles 🌟

Postural control - why is it so important for a child’s development?

Postural control is the ability to maintain a stable body position - both when still and during movement. Simply put, it is the skill of keeping balance and controlling the body in different positions.

The nervous and muscular systems work continuously to keep the centre of gravity “over the feet”, allowing us to perform everyday activities without falling or losing stability.

When this control is reduced, a child may struggle with balance, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, and even with tasks requiring precision. In such cases, appropriately tailored physiotherapy can be extremely beneficial.

What influences good postural control?
• cooperation of the senses: vision, balance (vestibular system) and proprioception
• automatic muscle reactions that respond to balance disturbances
• a stable “centre of the body”, enabling coordinated and efficient movement of the arms and legs

How can we improve postural control?
• stabilisation exercises
• strengthening of the postural and abdominal muscles
• work on proper alignment of the head, trunk and pelvis
• developmental methods such as Vojta Therapy
• DMI (Dynamic Movement Intervention)
• E-Stim – muscle electrical stimulation
• vibration training on the Galileo platform
• exercises using resistance bands

Good postural control is the foundation of motor development – from the first roll, through crawling, to independent walking and all later stages of growth.

Building strength, balance and confidence – all through play! 💪😊
Pediatric physiotherapy isn’t just about exercises. It’s about creating moments of joy, motivation and success, while supporting children in developing better posture, coordination and motor skills.

Little steps in the right direction make a big difference. 🌟
So proud of this hard work and determination!

💪 Bimanual Therapy with E-Stim in Hemiplegia 💪

During this therapy, we combine bimanual training with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (E-Stim) - an effective approach to improving hand function in children with hemiplegia.

While bimanual therapy encourages both hands to work together in purposeful, play-based activities, E-Stim helps activate weaker muscles, reduce spasticity, and enhance voluntary control.

This combination strengthens coordination, promotes sensory feedback, and supports more balanced and functional use of both hands in everyday life.

Step by step, with the right guidance and repetition, great progress becomes possible! 🌟

I’m so excited to share that I just completed the specialised ocular-motor training - Advanced PIMT Course! 🎉
This training focused on the interconnected systems of vision, cervical‐spinal function and posture, embedded within the integrative PIMT concept: understanding structure ↔ function in paediatric development.
I feel enriched and equipped with new tools for assessment and treatment of ocular-motor, vestibular and cervical dysfunctions - bringing a deeper, evidence-based approach to my work.
A huge thank you to the instructor and fellow therapists for such a valuable learning experience - I can’t wait to implement these concepts in my practice to help children thrive! 💙

🌟 Balance isn’t about staying still — it’s about learning to move with confidence. 🌟

During therapy, we often see children discover that balance is movement. Every wobble is an opportunity for the nervous system to learn, and every step helps develop motor control, postural stability, and body awareness. Through repetition and focused effort, the body and brain work together to build smoother, more coordinated movement patterns.

Behind every achievement like this, there’s teamwork — between the child, the therapist, and the family who believes in every small step forward. 💪💙

🧠 Motor Learning & Spinal Stimulation in Neurorehabilitation

Motor learning is the process through which the brain and body work together to develop and refine movement skills. It’s not just about repeating exercises – it’s about helping the nervous system relearn efficient and coordinated movement patterns.

In neurorehabilitation, we often combine motor learning principles with spinal stimulation to enhance neural activation, postural control, and overall movement quality. Through meaningful practice and targeted stimulation, the nervous system can reorganise itself — leading to improved function, confidence, and independence.

💪 I had the opportunity to attend the Clinical Advances in Spinal Neuromodulation – Mini Summit, and it was truly inspiring!
I learned a great deal, and I’m excited to apply this knowledge in my everyday clinical work to help children reach their full potential.

🌟 Building balance, strength, and confidence - step by step! 🌟

Stable and safe walking starts with good postural control, strong muscles, and well-developed balance reactions. 💪✨
During today’s session, we focused on improving core stability, body awareness, and spatial orientation — key elements that help children move with confidence and coordination.

Every step, every wobble, every moment of focus brings us closer to independence! 🧠👣💛
