🎙️ Life with a SWASH Brace: What Parents Should Know

When my daughter was prescribed a SWASH brace, I didn’t expect to cry—but I did. In this episode, I’m sharing our honest experience with this hip-stabilizing orthosis: the emotions, the pros and cons, and how we’re learning to cope day by day.

You’ll hear:
💚 What the SWASH brace is and why it's used
💚 My unfiltered reaction as a special needs mum
💚 The practical side—how we put it on, adapt it, and prevent wear and tear
💚 Emotional & mindset strategies to stay grounded
💚 A free downloadable tool I created to help you track your child’s brace usage, side effects, and improvements

This is not medical advice—just a mum sharing her journey through Kabuki Syndrome and everything that comes with it. If your child is starting with a brace or you’re just feeling overwhelmed by one more thing, I see you. I’m with you. And I hope this episode brings you some clarity and comfort.
