Hey ,

remember last week’s "suggestion over demand"

How low-level stimulation invites the nervous system to collaborate rather than forcing it?

This weeks take home is: "focus on the journey, not the destination!"

Susan shifts our focus to something that’ll should make you sit up and pay attention: the first 7 years aren’t a developmental phase—they’re a rescue mission against gravity.

🔑 This Week’s Nuggets

The 0–7 Year EMERGENCY

• Gravity isn’t waiting. Every day, it’s shaping—or warping—young skeletons. "If you saw your child stepping into traffic, would you wait?" Prioritize alignment over functional goals—this window slams shut fast.

Proprioception > Strength Training

• Resistance training (weights, machines) in poor alignment just makes you better and doing badly.  Strength emerges organically through practiced movement when the body knows what to do. In children, most strength gains are related to neuromotor changes (not muscle bulking) so how we shape what the nervrous system learns matters.

Alignment Dictates EVERYTHING

• A forward lean >15° deactivates glutes and reinforces spastic patterns. Neuromodulation fails without lumbar extension and proper center-of-mass alignment. ie. electrical stimulation and neuromodulation can’t compensate for poor posture.

Journey Over Destination

• Perfect movement quality during therapy isn’t optional—it’s the prerequisite for progress. Scale goals only when mechanics are optimised.

P.S. Three Things You Asked For

1. Sarah Clayton AMA: This is happening in a few hours. The 50% discount still works for Wired Members! (Shout if codes misbehave.)
2. Direct Messaging: Have you tried it? Your feedback is gold!
3. Wired Weeklies: Don’t feel like you’re doing this on your own. The power of community means learning together and hanging out with therapists who are as excited about this stuff as you are will nourish your therapy brain. Check out the Hub Events tab for deets → https://twc.wiredon.ltd/events
