This is a bonus episode between Lizzy and Emily from the PLA Library. We are in between Season One and Season Two and wanted to continue to provide you with goodness and learnings. Some key concepts during the conversation: 🔑 Importance of incorporating movement and physical activity, body awareness, stretching, and core exercises into therapy sessions. 🔑 Impact of language on health and the importance of setting up healthy habits. 🔑 The need to raise awareness about the role of EPs (Exercise Physiologists) and their collaboration with other allied health practitioners/professionals specifically in the paediatric sector. 🔑 The difference between OTs (Occupational Therapists) and physiotherapists (physios) in terms of diagnosis and frequency of visits. 🔑 Discussion of the challenges of engaging children and managing behaviour in therapy sessions. Lizzy recommends to check the Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) website for a list of EPs in the region. She provides free resources and information on her website. She offers an exercise database which includes 30 different exercises along with dialogue examples, paediatric prescription formulas, and developmental opportunities for each exercise. Lizzy has two clinics where she provides exercise therapy and support. She has previously been a guest expert and has shared valuable insights and practical strategies for speech sessions. She also does a free master class or webinar a couple of times a year. Lizzy is passionate about collaborating with other allied health professionals and believes in taking a holistic approach to therapy. She finds it rewarding to see the positive impact of her work on children’s lives.
