It's more than 'just' an elbow - here's why...

Hi
A wee while ago I popped into your inbox to ask you how much attention you've been paying to the elbow. I was looking for some questions to throw and Michael Workman, PT and Bamboo Brace developer for our upcoming WiredOn interview
As usual, the questions were awesome, from the clinically curious to the practically nuanced. It all added up to a fabulous conversation about that simple little joint between the shoulder and the hand that has such an impact on everything from breathing, to symmetry to independent mobility and our ability to play and thrive in the world.
This interview was a fascinating exploration of how the right kind of support around the elbow, paired with the right activities is the magic you need to unlock a shoulder, active head control or nudge the core into action.
Here's a few of the things we cover
- The Evolution of Bracing Techniques
- The Importance of Dynamic Movement
- Parental Involvement and Home Programs
- Clinical Insights and Case Studies
- Tinkering with Bamboo Braces
- Addressing Behavior Management Concerns
- Introducing Braces to Children
- Business Insights: Bringing a Product to Market
and so much more!

And if the conversation sparks something, makes you smile, or gives you a practical nudge (or a new question), hit reply and let me know, or drop a comment in the FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/wiredOnDevelopment - I'd love to continue this conversation.

P.S. My next interview is taking a deep dive into sleep in children with complex needs - more in the next email...
