⚽️Back to school often means back to ALL the sports for some kids πŸ™ƒ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ€πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ It’s exciting… but it can also be a big load on growing bodies.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A few key things to keep in mind as kids return to multiple sports πŸ‘‡
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
😴 Sleep matters
Most kids need 8–10 hours of sleep minimum to recover, grow and perform at their best.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🍌 Fuel = energy
Increased training means increased nutrition requirements.
Think pre and post training snacks, plus more food across the day to keep energy levels up.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🀝 Talk to coaches
If your child is in multiple sports, liaise with coaches early to help avoid overload and reduce injury risk in the first few weeks back.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ›‘ Rest is not optional
Training + rest = improved performance (and happier kids!).
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If your child is experiencing pain, niggles, fatigue, or isn’t getting back to where they were before the break, reach out to our team, we’d love to help them return to sport feeling strong and confident πŸ’™

✨ Strong glutes = strong dancers 🩰

When we talk about dance performance, everyone thinks feet, turnout and flexibility…
πŸ₯ But one of the biggest game-changers is actually ... πŸ₯

πŸŽ‰ Your glutes πŸŽ‰

Your glutes are the powerhouse muscles that help with:
πŸ’₯ Jumps and elevation
πŸŒ€ Turns and control
🧍 Balance and stability
🦡 Hip and knee alignment
⏳ Injury prevention and longevity

When they’re weak or not firing properly, other areas try to pick up the slack (hello hip flexors, knees, calves and lower back 😩).
That’s when we start seeing niggles, fatigue, poor control in landings, and those β€œmystery” aches that won’t go away.

Strong glutes help dancers:
✨ generate more power
✨ hold technique for longer
✨ improve stability and control
✨ recover better between classes
✨ keep dancing for years, not just seasons

Because it’s not just about performing well now, it’s about staying on the floor long term πŸ’›

If your dancer is dealing with hip, knee or back pain, struggling with jumps or turns, or wants to build strength safely, our physio team can help with targeted, dance-specific programs.

πŸ“© Get in touch or book via the link in our bio β€” we’d love to help them dance stronger and longer.

πŸŒ™ Is your Kiddo Fatigued? 😴
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ“š Back to school means busy days for kids and some tiredness is completely normal, but if your child is:
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
😴 Constantly exhausted after school
πŸ›Œ Needing a nap after school
πŸ€• Experiencing aches or pains
πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Struggling to keep up with peers
πŸ•’ Wiped out even on weekends
…it might be a sign that they need a bit of extra support.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’ͺ Our paediatric physiotherapists are skilled at finding the reasons for fatigue and creating strategies to help your child thrive at school and beyond.

Earlier this week, our Director and Paediatric Exercise Physiologist, Ben Hall, travelled to Parliament House in Canberra πŸ›οΈ alongside ESSA team members, fellow Accredited Exercise Physiologists from across Australia, and families πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ - including parents and their children sharing their lived experience πŸ’¬ - to advocate for Exercise Physiology to be included in the new Thriving Kids Program 🌱
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🀝 The event brought together policymakers, clinicians and media , reinforcing the importance of keeping lived experience at the centre of this reform ❀️.
A strong message echoed throughout discussions: a child’s postcode, access to early support, or complexity of needs should never determine their outcomes ✨
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A huge thank you to the families who shared their journeys πŸ™, and especially to Ocean Kids Health family Benji and Pippa πŸ’™ for bravely sharing their experiences 🌟. Your voices are helping shape better support for children and families Australia wide 🌈!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
At Ocean Kids Health, we are proud to advocate for the inclusion of Accredited Exercise Physiologists within the Thriving Kids Program πŸ’ͺ as part of multidisciplinary teams πŸ‘₯, helping deliver early, evidence-based exercise intervention πŸ“Š that allows children not just to manage, but to truly thrive 🌟
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Thank you to everyone involved in these important conversations πŸ™Œ
