🏃 Don’t Let Pain Keep Them on the Sidelines

Sports, gym class and activities are a big part of life.

If pain or an injury is holding your child back, Physical Therapy can help them work toward getting moving again.

💙 Movement Tip

Studying for a while?

Every 30–45 minutes:
🚶 Stand up and walk around
🙆 Roll your shoulders
👀 Look away from the screen

A little movement can help break up long periods of sitting.

🎒 Is Their Backpack Becoming a Pain?

Heavy or poorly fitted backpacks can put extra strain on growing shoulders, necks and backs.

If your child is coming home sore after school, Physical Therapy can assess their posture, movement and backpack fit to help identify what’s contributing to the pain.

A few small adjustments may make carrying that backpack a whole lot more comfortable.

Stop Calling It “Just Getting Older”

Not every change in movement has to be accepted simply because another birthday has passed.

Maybe you’ve stopped kneeling.

Maybe stairs have become intimidating.

Maybe you need your arms to push yourself out of a chair.

Age changes our bodies. It doesn’t mean we stop working toward strength, mobility and independence.

Keep investing in the life you want to live.

Check Your Head Position

While reading your phone, notice where your head is.

Has your chin dropped toward your chest?

Instead of staying there for long periods, bring the screen closer to eye level when possible and regularly change position.

📱 Your neck likes variety too.

Why Does My Shoulder Hurt at Night?

You finally get comfortable in bed… then your shoulder starts aching.

You roll over.
Move your pillow.
Try the other side.
Then roll back again.

Shoulder pain at night can interfere with more than sleep. It can affect getting dressed, reaching into cupboards, doing your hair and working overhead.

You don’t have to wait until you can barely use your arm before having it assessed.

📞 Call to schedule an assessment.
