Answer: Fiction.

Gentle, regular movement can be just as important as high intensity exercise, particularly during the festive season.

Activities such as walking, stretching, light mobility routines, and slower paced movement support joint lubrication, muscle comfort, circulation, and overall wellbeing.

These forms of movement are especially valuable when schedules become busy or routines change, helping you maintain comfort and energy throughout December.

Today we are offering simple, clinically supported strategies that help maintain comfort with minimal effort.

Stand and stretch during present wrapping sessions : Short movement breaks provide a perfect opportunity to reset posture, lengthen tight muscles, and prevent stiffness from building.

Take brief strolls between events: Even a five minute walk can improve mobility, boost energy, and break up prolonged sitting.

Begin the day with light, feel-good movement: Gentle morning stretches or slow mobility work prepares the body for the day ahead and reduces the likelihood of tension later on.

Listen to your body: Movement does not need to be fast or intense to be beneficial. If you feel tired or stiff, choose lower intensity activities that still keep your body engaged.

Kelly graduated from the University of Queensland in 2024 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. While studying, she built strong hands-on experience working as a disability support worker and GP receptionist, later progressing into a practice manager role.

During her training, Kelly gained experience across hospital and community clinic settings, working with a wide range of conditions including musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, and oncological presentations. She also had the incredible opportunity to study in Belgium, where she worked at Ghent University Hospital in the spinal cord rehabilitation ward.

Since graduating, Kelly has worked in private practice, providing one-to-one physiotherapy sessions for children with disabilities and developmental delay. She’s passionate about supporting children and families to reach their goals in a positive and engaging way.

Hydrotherapy Myths Uncovered: What Every Parent Should Know

Fact or Fiction: Hydrotherapy is only suitable for children who are confident swimmers.

This is fiction.

Hydrotherapy is suitable for children of all swimming abilities, including those who are brand new to the water. Sessions take place in shallow areas with close therapist supervision and the use of flotation aids when needed.

Whilst swimmng and learning to swim can be part of a child’s therapy, there are many different exercises which can use the properties of water to make movement easier (or harder if needed), safer, and more enjoyable. When children feel supported by the water and guided by a therapist, they often participate more actively and with greater confidence than they might on land.
