NeoPT

As a neonatal physical therapist, Ginny McGill is dedicated to the new beginning of each baby in her care. She believes that infants are the best of us and deserve our utmost in neonatal care and innovative neonatal therapy. These babies require not just lifesaving measures but also life-building care, including essential elements like belly bands for infant abdominal support. To help babies thrive and build towards their future, NeoPT aims to support and foster new ideas in neonatal therapy through collaboration among neonatal providers.

Why Neo-? Neo signifies new and different. I am here to assist and support other therapists in their neonatal practice or research, particularly focusing on abdominal wall support. This approach is new and different for me as well, and I hope that through collaboration, we can advance how therapists enhance the lives of neonates. Ginny@neophysicaltherapy.com.

NeoBellyBand was created by Ginny to support abdominal wall integrity, particularly in the realm of neonatal and infant abdominal support. Since publishing the article linked above, clinical cases were presented at NANT in 2023, revealing three types of therapists: those already engaged in abdominal wall treatment, those eager to begin, and those seeking to study it further. Some practitioners were utilizing suboptimal materials for abdominal wall support and expressed a desire to access the recommended belly band discussed. Others sought the rationale and clinical tools necessary for productive discussions with their teams regarding implementation. Additionally, some were interested in participating in further neonatal therapy research. The primary goal of this site is to share valuable information in a collaborative forum.
