🦴 Movement is medicine for your joints!
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain and stiffness, often making everyday activities feel like a challenge. But here’s the good news: the right kind of exercise can actually help relieve pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support your joints.

Biokineticists design safe, personalised programmes that include:
✨ Low-impact aerobic exercise (like walking, swimming, or cycling) to keep joints moving without extra strain.
✨ Strength training to support and protect vulnerable joints.
✨ Flexibility and mobility work to reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.

Movement not only reduces pain but also boosts energy levels, improves mood, and helps you maintain independence. With the right guidance, arthritis doesn’t have to slow you down - it can be managed with confidence.

Laying on the desk is a sign of…

a child who may have poor postural strength. Kids who tend to have weak core muscles may also have trouble holding up their torso for tasks that usually come naturally to others.

If a child needs help developing postural strength, you may often find them doing the following:

😒Laying on their desk
😒Placing head on desk while writing notes on paper
😒Uncoordinated
😒Falls frequently or appears clumsy
😒Fidgets or struggles to attend

Children who need help improving their postural strength can do a number of activities that can support this area of learning.
