Walky Talky Baby

Did you know two of our team members are sisters? 👭

Between clients, you’ll often find us squeezing in a quick challenge, laugh or brain teaser! 😆

This time, sisters Alison (our physiotherapist) and Lydia (our clinical psychologist) took on the classic “chair challenge.” The rules? Sit on the chair without moving your feet…

🧠 Lydia: tries to figure it out…
💪 Alison: simply picks up the chair, places it behind her and sits down.

Looks like the oldest sister is claiming the title of “best problem solver” today! 😂🏆

These little moments of fun help us reset, recharge and keep our energy high, so we’re ready to bring our best to every family who walks through our doors.

Now it’s your turn… would you have solved it like Alison, or been left scratching your head with Lydia? 👇

👅 Let’s talk lisps!
Not all lisps are created equal - in this reel, we break down the difference between an interdental lisp and a lateral lisp.

🧠 An interdental lisp (think “thun” for “sun”) is developmentally normal up until around age 4. But a lateral lisp (where air escapes over the sides of the tongue) is not a typical part of speech development and usually won’t resolve on its own.

💬 If your child has a lateral lisp, it’s a good idea to get support from a speech pathologist early on.

💪 Core Strength Series – Part 2 with Physio Nat!

Who says strengthening your core has to be boring? 🙌 Using simple rings from Kmart, Nat demonstrates a fun exercise that challenges the tummy muscles, coordination and body awareness.

✨ Lie on your back with your legs up in the air
✨ Place the rings around one foot.
✨ Reach forward with your arms to transfer each ring from one foot to the other. Head lifted off the ground to activate that core!

This exercise is a great way to activate those core muscles while also encouraging control, coordination and endurance. Plus, using simple equipment and turning exercise into a game makes it much more fun! 🎉

Looking for ideas to help your child build strength and confidence through play? Our physios can tailor activities to your child’s individual needs.

🌏✨ Happy International Day of Play!

At Walky Talky, we know that play isn’t just fun - it’s how children learn, explore and build confidence. And when play gets bodies moving, the benefits are even bigger. 💙

Active play helps little ones:
🤸 Build strength, balance and coordination
🏃 Develop fundamental movement skills
🧠 Support learning, concentration and confidence
💤 Sleep better and feel their best
❤️ Strengthen bones, muscles and healthy hearts

From tummy time and climbing to dancing, chasing bubbles and playground adventures, movement doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be fun!

Our physios love helping children and families find playful ways to build skills, confidence and independence. Because the best therapy often looks a lot like play. 🌈

So today, we’re celebrating the joy of movement and all the incredible things children learn through active play. 🎉

What’s your little one’s favourite way to play? ⬇️

Building core strength doesn’t have to mean fancy equipment! 💪

In this video, our physiotherapist Nat demonstrates some simple core-strengthening activities using cones and rings that you can pick up from Kmart.

One of the best things about these activities is how easily they can be adapted. Nat shows how to make the task easier for children who are just starting out, and how to increase the challenge as their strength and confidence grow.

Strong core muscles help children with posture, balance, coordination, endurance and gross motor skills. They’re the foundation for so many everyday activities, from sitting at the table and concentrating at school to running, jumping and playing with friends.

If you’re looking for fun, practical ways to help your child build strength and confidence, our physio team can assess your child’s needs and create activities that are tailored just for them. 🌟
