Join Dayna and Marissa on an extended episode back, after the Oceania Conference 2026, with the one and only Dr Brian Hoare.  A candid conversation about: More isn’t always better: getting smarter about therapy dosage in children with cerebral palsy. Join us for a wonderful look at why it isn't just about doing more - dosage is far more complex than that and we - as therapists and researchers - need to get smarter about this, especially for children with cerebral palsy.

A brilliant conference that has come to a close but we are excited about the implications both for the future and what we can implement into clinical practice today.
