Looks like a lot of equipment for one wee girl. Here's what each piece is doing.

Emersyn's working through gait training with STIM and TheraTogs. The STIM helps prompt the right muscles to fire at the right moment. The TheraTogs give her body support and feedback, so she can feel the pattern of walking while she practises it.

This is the pool in Christchurch.
Hydrotherapy is included for all therapy in both Australia and New Zealand - here's why

Hydrotherapy provides a supported, low-impact environment where children with cerebral palsy can practise moving more freely.

Research shows aquatic therapy may support improvements in gross motor function, strength, walking efficiency and participation.

The water reduces the effects of gravity while providing gentle resistance, creating more opportunities to move, strengthen and build confidence.

Wellington Pop up and sweet Margot completed one of our modified intensive spots.

Our one-week modified Intensive is a great option for families who are new to intensive therapy, are unsure how their child may respond, or can only manage a shorter period away from work, school and everyday commitments.

It gives your child the opportunity to begin working towards meaningful goals, build confidence with the intensive format and establish clear strategies to continue beyond the week.

🌟 Milestone Monday 🌟

This one hits different.

Meet Andrew McCrory (.mccrory.ultra.runner). Before we opened our doors in New Zealand, Andrew was already fundraising to send Aussie kids to our Burleigh clinic.

Let that sink in. A bloke in Hawke's Bay, running ultra-marathons across the country, so children could access the therapy they needed.

It started back in 2018. Andrew injured his own back and needed spinal surgery. While he was recovering, scrolling Facebook, he came across a little girl with cerebral palsy who needed help. So he jumped in. Then he took up running and hasn't stopped since.

Now he's out there clocking 80km training runs and pouring every single cent into the kids at our Rotorua and Christchurch centres. Every dollar goes straight to their therapy. The work that helps them roll, sit, crawl and move a little more freely.

We are so grateful, Andrew. For the kilometres, the heart, and for backing these kids before we'd even met you.

Go and follow him. Better yet, go and support him πŸ‘‰ .mccrory.ultra.runner

This is Cara working with Rosie in our Christchurch clinic - and yes, baby Amelia came along for the session too. πŸ₯Ή

It takes a village. And we're proud to be part of theirs. 🀍

Hudson is working on supported standing and walking with Sam (Exercise Physiologist) at our Rotorua clinic and he's doing it entirely on his own terms.

This is what sessions look like here. Evidence-based, an incredible team, and built around what actually works for each individual child.
