A baby on a big pink ball, head up, eyes on the toy, working harder than it looks.

Tummy time matters, but it’s only one way babies practise moving, reaching and exploring. You can support those skills in lots of small ways at home, from how you position your baby to where you place a toy.

In Baby Steps, Patty Ocampo, our occupational therapist, shows you how. These six hands-on weekly classes cover tummy time, rolling, sitting, sleep and the social side of growing, for babies from 6 weeks to 6 months. You’ll learn alongside other parents and their babies, and see how those early skills build toward what comes later, even classroom learning.

The classes may be covered through your extended health benefits under occupational therapy. Book through the link in bio, and check oonacares.com for the latest schedule.

If your baby keeps backing away from the toy they're trying to reach, they're not doing it wrong.

Lots of babies figure out how to push backwards before they work out forwards. The turning on the spot, the rocking on hands and knees and the scooting all count as practice for getting around.

Swipe for what to watch for and a simple floor play setup you can try today.

If something about how your baby moves has you wondering, our pediatric physiotherapists in Toronto and Newmarket can take a look and suggest things to try during play. No referral needed. Book through the link in our bio, or start with a free 20-minute Care Navigator call.

When a muscle is really tender, hands on treatment can feel like too much.

Dr. Aly Rawson is a chiropractor trained in acupuncture. She may use acupuncture as one tool in a visit when it’s appropriate and the patient is comfortable with it. For some people, a needle can be easier to manage than hands on pressure directly into a sensitive muscle.

Acupuncture isn’t the right fit for every person or every area. Dr. Aly explains how she decides when it may be useful.

Walking feels comfortable, but certain movements still don’t feel right. And when you’re ready to lift again, how do you know where to start?

In this video, Yasemin Ecem Temel, Pelvic & Orthopaedic Physiotherapist, explains why it helps to understand what’s making a movement difficult before choosing exercises or adding weight. Sometimes the issue is how you’re moving; sometimes a particular muscle group needs support. An assessment can help identify what may be contributing and guide your next steps.

When you’re rebuilding your strength, start with a weight you can manage comfortably and progress gradually. Pay attention to symptoms such as doming, heaviness or pressure. A physiotherapist can help you work out an appropriate starting point, whether your needs relate to pelvic health, orthopaedic concerns or both.

Oona offers pelvic floor and orthopaedic physiotherapy in Toronto and Newmarket. No referral is needed to book. If you’re unsure where to start, book a free 20-minute Care Navigator call. Link is in our bio.

It’s easy to assume that leaking when you laugh, sneeze or go for a run is just part of pregnancy or life after having a baby. The same goes for back pain during pregnancy or noticing a change in your abdominal muscles after birth. These concerns are common, but you don’t have to simply put up with them.

In this video, Pooneh Ghodrat, Pelvic & Orthopaedic Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist, talks about the concerns she often hears from patients and why it can help to get them assessed. Pelvic floor physiotherapy looks at what’s contributing to your symptoms and what kind of support may be useful for you.

You can book directly with our Newmarket pelvic floor physio health team. No referral is needed. If you’re unsure where to start, book a free 20-minute Care Navigator call and we’ll help you find the right next step. Link is in our bio.

Why do your hips and legs feel so tense during pregnancy?

As your baby grows, your hips and glute muscles take on more work to support you. Sometimes, that added pressure can irritate tender spots in the glute muscles and create pain that travels into the leg, much like sciatica.

In this reel, Carol Ruddyk, Registered Massage Therapist at Oona Wellness Group, explains how the piriformis and gluteus minimus can contribute to that discomfort, and demonstrates a gentle pin and stretch technique she may use in treatment.

That sharp or achy feeling can have more than one cause, so it’s worth having it assessed if it’s bothering you. Carol provides prenatal massage at Oona, with care tailored to your comfort and stage of pregnancy.

What’s the difference between chiropractic and osteopathy for your baby?

Dr. Julia Geisel, Chiropractor, Adult & Paediatric, explains that chiropractic care looks at your baby’s joints, spine and movement as a whole. She may also assess mobility, positional asymmetry and how your baby is progressing with milestones.

Osteopathic care takes a broader approach, considering how different tissues and areas of the body relate to one another. There’s overlap between the two, and an assessment helps determine what may be appropriate for your baby.

If you’ve noticed a movement or positional difference and aren’t sure where to start, Oona offers paediatric care in Toronto and Newmarket. Book directly, with no referral needed, or call our Care Navigator for a free 20-minute conversation.

What does hands-on osteopathy for a baby actually look like?

Cebi Ndlangamandla, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner at Oona, explains some of the gentle approaches she may use during an appointment, including soft tissue and craniosacral work, checking how a baby’s tongue moves, and showing parents stretches they can continue at home.

Some parts of treatment can look very subtle, with Cebi’s hands resting lightly on your baby. She adjusts what she does to what she observes, and may work with your baby on your lap or while they’re feeding.
You can book directly with Cebi or another Oona practitioner. No referral is needed. If you’d like help choosing where to start, book a free 20-minute Care Navigator call through the link in our bio.

We ask an awful lot of people after they have a baby.

Recover from birth. Learn how to feed and care for a newborn. Keep track of appointments. Notice when something doesn't feel right. Then somehow know whether that something belongs with your doctor, a pelvic floor physiotherapist, a lactation consultant (IBCLC), a mental health practitioner or a practitioner who works with babies.

A new randomized trial of 405 postpartum patients found that giving people a navigator made a measurable difference. Postpartum visit attendance went from 80% to 96%, depression screening and care from 72% to 86%, and by one year, 57% had connected with primary care compared with 30% receiving usual care.

Those numbers caught our attention because the intervention wasn't another treatment. Someone simply helped people navigate the care that was already there.

That's exactly why we have a Care Navigator at Oona.

You don't need to know who you need before you call us. Tell us what's been going on, and we'll help you figure out where to start.

Free 20-minute Care Navigator calls are available for Toronto and Newmarket. No referral needed. Book through the link in our bio.
