Alex's Place - Paediatric Physiotherapy Service - Vojta,NDT Bobath,SI,CST Physiotherapy Service for babies, toddlers and children Hello everyone

My name is Aleksandra Szlapa. Since that time, I have worked extensively in paediatrics.

In 2006, I graduated with a Master of Science in Physiotherapy from the Medical University of Silesia, Poland. My area of practice includes neurodevelopment, neurological, orthopaedic, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I have experience working with all age groups from early intervention programs to preschool and school-age programs. I have completed various post-graduate courses, including:
• NDT – Bobath
• Vojta
• PIMT
• NISE-Stim Level 1
• NISE-Stim for the Trunk
• DMI Level A, Level B, Level C
• M.A.E.S.
• Sensory Integration
• CST
• PNF Basic, Advanced and PNF in Paediatrics
• myofascial techniques
• Scar Work
• Bone Work
• Cranial Work
• Kinesio Taping
• Manual Therapy
• Three Dimension Manual Therapy of Children's Fault Feet,
• Foundation and Advanced Paediatric Gait Analysis and Orthotic Management by Elaine Owen
• Practical application of the suit ‘SpiderSuit ‘course
and many other courses and workshops. I continue to enhance my knowledge and develop my skills in paediatric physiotherapy. In my practice, I use a combination of many methods and always adjust to the individual needs of the child. Of course, besides the highest level of treatment, I always prioritize the comfort and well-being of the child. I'm Health Professions Council (HCPC PH114028) registered, a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP 103292) and have undertaken a full DBS (formerly CRB) check. I'm also a member of the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP-10000522) and British Association of Bobath Trained Therapists (BABTT).

💪 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! 🧠👣💛

✨👣 Walking practice with the Innowalk gait trainer 👣✨
It’s not only about strengthening the muscles – every step also stimulates the brain, supporting coordination, balance and new motor patterns.
With play and activity combined, therapy becomes both effective and enjoyable 💡💪

Movement is medicine! 💪
Using simple tools like a foam roller, we can turn play into therapy. These exercises challenge balance, activate deep postural muscles, and help children learn how to control their bodies in space.

When daily life involves long hours of sitting and limited activity, children’s posture can suffer. Add to that early developmental difficulties, and the result may be poor alignment, muscle strain or discomfort.

That’s why introducing fun, engaging activities like these is so important — they not only support posture and motor skills, but also give kids the confidence to move freely. 🌟

💪 Teamwork makes the dream work! 💪

Paediatric physiotherapy is not just about exercises – it’s about systematic, patient work on postural control, coordination, strength and confidence. Every small step builds a stronger foundation for independent movement.

👩‍⚕️ Together with a supportive therapist, children can safely explore their limits, practise balance, and develop motor skills in a fun, engaging way.

✨ Consistency, teamwork and a positive environment turn therapy into play and progress into joy. Every session counts, every effort matters! 💛
