Her gentle nature, dedication to learning, and genuine love for babies, children and parents shine through in every consultation. She has become such a valued part of our team, and we are incredibly grateful for the compassion and excellence she brings to Rise every single day.

Thank you, Myra, for your hard work, your kindness, and for helping so many families rise. 🤍

Birth is a big physical transition for both mom and baby.

A baby’s skull is beautifully designed to be flexible, allowing the plates to overlap and shift during birth. Afterward, these structures gradually settle as your baby begins to move, feed, and interact with their environment.

In some cases, small areas of tension or compression can influence how easily this process unfolds. You might notice a preferred side, difficulty settling on one side, or early changes in head shape.

At Rise, we have a special interest in assessing these skull and upper neck dynamics, always within the bigger picture of your baby’s movement and development.

Our approach is gentle, respectful, and focused on supporting natural symmetry and ease.

If something feels off, a simple check-in can offer reassurance and guidance.

Feeding is often the first complex, coordinated movement your baby learns - their very first milestone.

While we often focus on the latch, there’s so much more happening beneath the surface. Feeding requires the mouth, jaw, neck, and nervous system to work together in a very organised way, and even small areas of tension or restriction can influence how this feels for both baby and mom.

At Rise, we assess oral function as part of a bigger picture, looking at symmetry, movement, and how your baby is coordinating their body during a feed. This isn’t about labels or diagnoses, but about understanding function and supporting ease.

We also work closely with lactation consultants, and other professionals when needed because feeding challenges are often best supported as a team.

If feeding feels harder than expected, you’re not alone, and there is support available.

We often talk about the first 12 weeks, but what happens when they start to run and climb?

As children transition to walking, their systems face new challenges.

Whether it's movement symmetry or ensuring they are integrating their reflexes beautifully, we support families through every busy milestone.

Pregnancy and birth create huge physical changes. Your pelvis adapts, your core stretches, and your ribs expand. Our special interest in perinatal care is about supporting that recovery and adaptation. You don’t have to just “push through” discomfort.

As your little one finds their feet, you might notice movement patterns that look a bit different - walking on toes, tripping often, or feet turning inward.

In many cases, this is a normal part of development. But sometimes, it can also be a sign that the body is working around areas of tension or adapting as it builds strength and coordination.

At Rise, we take a gentle, developmental approach, looking at how your child moves as a whole, rather than focusing on one isolated pattern.

We also love working alongside paediatric physiotherapists and occupational therapists. If your child would benefit from a team approach, we’ll guide you in the right direction so they’re supported in the best way possible.

Curious about your toddler’s movement? A gentle check-in can provide the reassurance and guidance you’re looking for.

Rolling is an exciting milestone, but it doesn’t happen at exactly the same time for every baby.

Some babies begin rolling around 3½–4 months, while for others it can take until 6–7 months.

When babies struggle with rolling, it’s often because they are still learning how to coordinate their body and balance system.

In this activity we work on two important systems for rolling:
The balance (vestibular) system
The visual system

First we curl baby into a ball with hands on knees.
This position creates a sense of safety and body awareness.

Then we gently rock side to side while baby maintains eye contact.

After about 30 seconds the movement becomes slightly larger, encouraging the balance system to work harder.

These playful movements help babies learn how their body moves in space, which supports rolling development.

Save this for when your baby begins exploring rolling.

Postpartum care often focuses entirely on the baby.

But pregnancy and birth create huge physical changes in a mother’s body.

Your pelvis adapts.
Your core stretches.
Your ribs expand.
Your neck and wrists take on new loads as you feed, carry, and care for your baby.

Many mothers experience things like:
• pelvic discomfort
• rib or back pain
• neck tension from feeding
• wrist pain from lifting and carrying
• core weakness after pregnancy

These changes are common, but that doesn’t mean you need to simply live with them.

The postpartum period is a time of adaptation and recovery.

Supporting that recovery can make a big difference in how you move, feel, and care for your
baby.

Postpartum care starts with mom.
