WHO WE ARE

Footprints Therapy is a privately owned, multi-disciplinary practice that was founded over 20 years ago. We have evolved from a paediatric physical therapy clinic to one that is more holistic and offers care to both children and adults. We provide physical and occupational therapy and yoga for infants to young adults up to twenty one years of age. Our practitioners are highly trained in their designated fields and have a wealth of expertise. They are also committed to their own professional and continuing education to ensure they always have state of the art, advanced, knowledge and skills. Footprints philosophy encourages collaboration between therapy specialists to promote an optimal outcome for each client. OUR GOALS AND VISION

Our vision is to offer holistic health care. We tailor our intervention to the current needs of the client and refer within and outside of our clinic if necessary. At Footprints our goal is to maximize the ability and potential of each individual – from infants to seniors.

The Big Question: “How do you get them to LIE STILL?” 🤷‍♀️✨
I often get asked this, and the truth is... it’s all about finding the right tools! When we treat older babies and busy toddlers, we know they are constant movers and shakers. Getting them to lie on their back is a specialized skill!
In our practice, we turn treatment time into a cooperative, playful experience. As seen here, our secret weapons include:
💙A Toy Parade: We have a diverse lineup of engaging toys (like our colorful dino-bus and sensory rattles!) to keep hands and minds occupied.
💙The Power of Bubbles: A simple, magical stream of bubbles can work wonders to settle a busy body.
💙A Gentle, Caring Hand: Combining these sensory distractions with precise, gentle osteopathic techniques creates a calm and healing space.
Movement is healthy and normal! We just lean into it with creativity so we can effectively do our work. 🦖🧸🫧

👁️✨ Did you know osteopathy can play a key role in supporting early vision development?
During infancy, a baby’s head and cranial bones undergo significant pressure whether from positioning in the womb, labor, or delivery. Tension in the delicate cranial bones, membrane systems, or upper neck can directly influence the orbits (eye sockets), the nerves supplying the eye muscles, and proper tear duct drainage.
Here’s how Osteopathic Manual Therapy can support your baby’s vision from an early age:
🔹 Gentle Cranial Release: Easing restrictions in the frontal, sphenoid, and temporal bones to allow natural alignment around the eye orbits.
🔹 Nerve & Muscle Balance: Relieving pressure on cranial nerves (CN III, IV, VI) responsible for eye movement, helping with visual tracking and strabismus/alignment.
🔹 Fluid Dynamics: Promoting gentle fluid flow to support tear duct drainage and clear blocked ducts naturally.
🔹 Postural Integration: Balancing tension in the neck and upper back so babies can easily turn their heads to track light, movement, and loved ones.
Gentle, non-invasive, and precise osteopathy helps ensure the anatomical foundation is clear so your little one can take in the world around them comfortably! 👶🏼💖

Unlocking Potential & Healing at Footprints Therapy 🧠✨
When it comes to supporting a child’s development, combining gentle hands on care with modern light therapy can be a game changer.
At Footprints Therapy, we utilize a multi modal approach combining Osteopathy and Low-Level Red Laser Therapy to help boost neuroplasticity, regulate the nervous system, and encourage deep cellular healing.
Here is how this powerful combination works together:
Gentle Osteopathic Care: Soft, precise hands on techniques work with the body’s natural rhythms to relieve structural tension, support craniosacral movement, and promote autonomic nervous system balance.
Red Laser Photobiomodulation: Targeted red light penetrates deep into the tissues to stimulate cellular energy (ATP production), reduce local inflammation, stimulated the vagus nerve, and enhance tissue regeneration.
Support for Neuroplasticity: By creating a relaxed nervous system state and optimizing cellular energy, we build an ideal environment for brain rewiring, primitive reflex integration, and neurological adaptation.
Whether working through developmental milestones, sensory processing needs, or recovery, our goal is to help every child feel grounded, comfortable, and empowered to reach their full potential! 🌟

More than just a game! 🧩✨
When we play games like Connect Four in occupational therapy, we’re doing so much more than placing tokens in a grid. Structured play opens up meaningful avenues for expression, emotional regulation, and skill building:
💙 Emotional Regulation & Patience: Taking turns builds impulse control and creates a safe space to practice coping with win or lose feelings.
🖐️ Fine Motor & Coordination: Picking up and slotting small discs refines the pincer grasp, hand eye coordination, and finger strength.
💬 Open Expression: Sitting together creates a relaxed environment where we can seamlessly blend play with tools like emotional literacy books to help kids talk through their feelings.
🧠 Problem Solving: Every move encourages spatial awareness, planning, and focus!
Big growth happens through play. 🌟🌱

Restoring balance and clearing post-op tension 🩹✨
After a hernia surgery, the body carries more than just physical scar tissue, it also holds onto strain and systemic lethargy from anesthesia and surgical medications.
By combining targeted scar tissue release with gentle osteopathic techniques to support circulation, lymphatic drainage, and natural detox pathways, we helped his body process the post anesthesia residual effects and release deep seated tension.
Look at how much straighter, centered, and easeful his alignment is now! ⚖️🧘‍♂️
When we address the whole system, releasing tissue restrictions and helping the body clear out post surgical sluggishness, true structural alignment follows naturally.💙👣

Treating kids isn’t about making them fit into our world—it’s about stepping fully into theirs. 💙✨
When a little one comes in, lying still on a treatment table is sometimes the last thing they want to do. And that’s completely okay! If they don’t want to lie down, we adapt. We sit up, we move, we jump right up on the table with them, or we treat them mid play.
Healing happens when a child feels safe, comfortable, and understood. By meeting them exactly where they are—both physically and emotionally—we turn care into a positive, stress-free experience.
No rigid rules, no forcing. Just gentle, child led care that works with their rhythm, not against it. 🧸🌿

Gentle Support for Big Milestones! 👶✨
Ever wondered what “Guppy Pose” is all about?
During paediatric osteopathy treatments here at Footprints Therapy, we often use and prescribe the Guppy Pose as a home exercise for parents. This gentle extension exercise helps to:
✨ Stretch the anterior cervical fascia (the connective tissue at the front of the neck)
✨ Release tightness in the neck & throat muscles
✨ Improve latch and neck extension to make breastfeeding smoother and more comfortable for both baby and parent!
When performed with proper positioning and guidance, it’s a wonderful tool to support your baby’s mobility and feeding journey.
If you’re noticing tension during feedings or your baby favours turning their head to one side, an osteopathy, physiotherapy and/or breast feeding evaluation can help get things moving comfortably!

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. 💙
This amazing new mama came to our clinic feeling overwhelmed and struggling to get her baby to latch. Breastfeeding can feel so daunting when things aren’t going as planned, but sometimes all it takes is the right guidance, patience, and expert support.
In just one session with our incredible IBCLC, Suyin Jordan, this sweet little one achieved a successful latch and completed a full feed! Look at that peaceful, post-feed belly full of comfort (and a very happy mom!).
If you’re struggling with feeding, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’re here to help you and your baby find your rhythm. ✨
