So I’m not used to showing up on here, but I thought it was time to let you know a little bit about me, the face behind First Foundations Physiotherapy for Children, so here I am!
I had a great day yesterday traveling up to Birmingham for a day of mandatory training ✅ and then to meet a dear friend of mine.
Do you ever feel life goes full circle sometimes? Yesterday I had this moment. I realised I first moved to Birmingham 25 years ago! I came here to study for my physiotherapy degree and for my first 2years of junior rotations. I then moved to Cambridge to work at the incredible Papworth hospital and to pursue a job in paediatric physiotherapy. I then had the opportunity to pursue my dream job working at Birmingham Children’s hospital - I was back again!!! After having my boys I moved into the community services working with children in Worcester. But yesterday I was back again in Birmingham, full of happy memories and so grateful for where my journey has brought me- the best is yet to come!

Super excited to share we now have💦 NEW 💦 Saturday service for our Hydrotherapy sessions. We know this will really help children at school, who can now join us every weekend on a Saturday. There are limited places, so don’t leave it too long to get in touch.
These sessions are to help support your child’s goals, improve strength and confidence when land based work can be really hard and they are ALWAYS a lot of FUN ✨
Let’s make a splash this summer 💦

Time flies when you’re having fun…. Well we certainly did back in April supporting the paediatric physiotherapy module . At we value ongoing learning, keeping up to date and being evidenced based with our practise, but we also love supporting others. We had a great time teaching the students and even had our own ‘toddler’ to assess and learn all about typical childhood development. We love to champion and encourage others, especially because we’re so passionate about paediatric physiotherapy✨

Last weekend we had a great time supporting lots of children , a brilliant charity supporting children with Down syndrome. We worked on high kneeling, half kneeling and squatting to play with all the pre-schoolers, encouraging lower limb and core strengthening through play!!
Unbelievably most of the children that attend DEx, have very limited or no physiotherapy input. And if their referral is accepted as a toddler, they are often simply discharged once they can walk. That’s where comes in. We believe there is still a huge advantage for children with Down syndrome, having ongoing physiotherapy input throughout their childhood as they continue to grow and develop. There is so much we can support and do to help improve their physical skills further.
We all know local services are often over stretched and under resourced, but that is no reason to discriminate a child because they have a particular diagnosis. The statements in the reel were reasons were given to parents, as to why their child would no longer be receiving physiotherapy care!! Well we’re here to try and help change this narrative. 👊
Watch this space for more to come….. and if you know of a child with Down syndrome that would benefit from some extra ongoing support, please do get in touch, we’d love to support you✨

Treated myself to a day off flower show. Running your own business is hardwork, so much goes on behind the scenes and is unseen and having worked last weekend I thought a day off was much needed. I’ve had a great day with friends indulging in a all the beautiful 🌺
Big thank you to gavin for arranging the tickets for me, go check out their amazing pizza ovens people! 🍕
