✳️ Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Many of our patients with rare diseases have been with us for years and have become part of our Total Peds Family. We love seeing how much they’ve grown over the years!

✨ Physical Therapy Tip ✨ Motivation is huge w ✨ Physical Therapy Tip ✨

Motivation is huge when it comes to working on the gross motor skill of walking. Having a simple reward for your child like throwing a ball, popping bubbles or playing a game can help motivate them to take those first steps while guiding them.

We were able to be part of an amazing opportunity We were able to be part of an amazing opportunity with our client, Phoenix! Colton Cowell Foundation and @childrenscancernetwork1 put the experience of a lifetime together. Phoenix (and Miss Katie!) was able to tour the 🦇 Bat Cave and even ride in the Bat Mobile! The best part? 2 amazing nonprofits, Silver Spur Therapeutic Riding Center 🐎 and CCN, received each received a $1000 donation! 

✳️ Bonus! Phoenix was given keys so that when she turns 16 she can come back and drive it herself!

This image is a true reflection of patient centered care and therapist’s adapting!

David and Sara (both patients) have developed quite the bond during their overlapping appointment times. David wanted to help get Sara’s orthotics on so Dr. Brittany found an opportunity for some single leg work while Dr. Justina gained an assistant and Sara loved every minute! 🥰

Let’s Talk Orthotics! There are so many “ort Let’s Talk Orthotics! 

There are so many “ortho” words when it comes to physical therapy. Here’s a rundown:

*️⃣ Orthotist - Works with your physical therapist and orthopedic doctor (when necessary) to find the right orthotic and make sure it’s the perfect fit. 

*️⃣ Othopedic Dr - Can do x-rays, check walk patterns, recommend surgery, recommend orthotics and more. 

*️⃣ Orthotic - The actual brace that is recommended for the patient. 

When Physical Therapists and Orthotists work together…..MAGIC happens!! 👏

We have been honored to have Tyler, an orthotist with @goalpediatrics , working closely with us in the clinic to help improve our patients alignment and functional abilities! 

The best part⁉️ They come right to the clinic for the convenience of our clients!
