Our virtual motor milestone class has been a hit so far!! We have two small group sessions running weekly (ages 0-6 months and 6-12 months) to work on age appropriate gross motor skills and how to engage in purposeful play activities at home with your baby.

Return to School. Return to Sports. Did you know we treat concussions at our clinic?! We’re a @completeconcussions certified clinic and can help kiddos who sustain a concussion get back to doing the things they love! ... Sometimes getting back to school work can be extremely difficult, stressful, and frustrating post-concussion. Our therapists can help rehabilitate eye-tracking, balance and coordination, neck strength, noise and light sensitivities and many other areas that can delay concussion recovery. Brain Health is important ! #concussionrecovery #concussionawareness #completeconcussionmanagement #paediatricphysio #sportsinjuries #returntoschool #returntosport #playworks #physiotherapy #portmoody #portcoquitlam #coquitlam #tricities

How cool are these Billy Shoes! We’ve had quite a few families report to us how great these shoes are... so we thought we’d share for all our families! Here are some of the reasons they rock: - these shoes are easy to fasten and undo, with a simple tug of a zipper, making it easier for kiddos, even with hand/mobility challenges, to get them on independently! - they fit over most AFO’s, SMO’s and other orthotics (you can’t even see this kiddo’s AFO’s)!... - they have a good bit of high ankle stability for those who need it - they look awesome Check out @billyfootwear for all the cool styles !

Check out this rockstar working hard with Physio Jen! Did you know that Jenn has 20 years of physiotherapy experience!? - She has worked in orthopaedics and sports med clinics in both the USA and Canada... - She has worked in the hospital setting for both inpatient and outpatient orthopaedics - She has been working with children for the last 10 years in clinics and in schools!
