Is your little one walking on their tiptoes? 👣

Kids often don’t grow out of toe walking, they grow into it, which can lead to tight calves and posture concerns. The good news? Caught early, it’s easier to treat, and serial casting is a well-supported, non-surgical option. 💙

👉 Learn more on our blog at https://hubs.la/Q04zLbDF0 share with a family who might need it!

See what changes before, during, and after serial casting for toe walking, from ankle range of motion to heel contact and the bracing that follows.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and we want to remind the parents and caregivers in our community that you are carrying a lot. 💙

The schedules, IEP meetings, advocacy, appointments, paperwork, and daily challenges can be overwhelming. The love is endless, but so is the effort it takes to show up every day.

While mental health conversations often focus on the child, today we want to focus on you. Caregiver wellbeing matters, and you deserve support, too.

At Westside, we offer parent counseling and coaching because supporting families is just as important as supporting children. If you've been considering reaching out, today is a great day to take that step. 💙

As we continue to celebrate National Physical Therapy Month, we're proud to celebrate the pediatric physical therapists who make such a meaningful difference for the families we serve.

Every day, our PTs help children build the strength, balance, and coordination they need to explore their world with confidence. From a baby's first roll to a child returning to the soccer field after an injury, their work shows up in the moments that matter most to families.

Thank you to our PT team for your expertise, creativity, and dedication. You embody The Westside Way every single day.
