Occupational therapists help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs. To do this, they use everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies.

OT helps kids play, improves their school performance, and aids their daily activities.

It also boosts their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.

With OT, kids can:

⚽Develop fine motor skills so they can grasp and release toys and develop good handwriting or computer skills.
⚽Improve eye–hand coordination so they can play and do needed school skills such as bat a ball and copy from a blackboard.
⚽Master basic life skills such as bathing, getting dressed, brushing teeth, and self-feeding.
⚽Learn positive behaviors and social skills by practicing how they manage frustration and anger.
⚽Get special equipment to help build their independence. These include wheelchairs, splints, bathing equipment, dressing devices, and communication aids.

Many children learn to say speech sounds over time, but some do not. You may not know why your child has problems speaking.

Some children have speech problems because the brain has trouble sending messages to the speech muscles telling them how and when to move. This is called apraxia. Childhood apraxia of speech is not common but will cause speech problems.

Some children have speech problems because the muscles needed to make speech sounds are weak. This is called dysarthria.

Your child may have speech problems if he has

🔉a developmental disorder, like autism;
🔉a genetic syndrome, like Down syndrome;
🔉hearing loss, from ear infections or other causes; or
🔉brain damage, like cerebral palsy or a head injury.

HOW MUCH CALCIUM SHOULD WE BE HAVING?

The average individual needs to be consuming at least two and a half to four servings of dairy.

Sources of dairy may include regularly intaking traditional products such as milk, yogurt, cheese and/or non-animal based alternatives.

Calcium requirements, additionally, escalate across multiple periods of life, such as puberty and mature ages.

With that in mind it is important to continually monitor your daily intake and ensuring healthy bones all your life.

Physiotherapy can be a transformative experience and people of all ages can take advantage of it.

Physiotherapists make use of a combination of hands-on manual and exercise-based techniques to help patients achieve optimal outcomes.

Sports physiotherapy is a special branch of physiotherapy that deals with sports professionals and athletes.

Sports physiotherapists are also dedicated to assess and treat injuries related to exercise at all levels.

Getting athletes back to full form and getting rid of pain is only a part of what a sports physiotherapist does.

The focus is also on performance and the overall development of the patient.

Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition which results in high glucose (sugar) levels in the blood and is due to the body not producing enough insulin or using insulin inefficiently.

It is a condition which can be improved through regular exercise and diet.

-OUR EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS-

A combination of aerobic and resistance training is ideal for improving glycaemic control, but the specifics can be a bit more in depth.

As a starting point, aim to perform aerobic exercise of a moderate intensity on most days of the week, totalling at least 150 minutes per week, and resistance training twice per week.

To ensure the best results and take into account other conditions or injuries you may have, it is important to have some guidance by an exercise physiologist.

A hammer toe is a deformity that causes your toe to bend or curl downward instead of pointing forward.

This deformity can affect any toe on your foot. It most often affects the second or third toe.

Common causes of this include:

💢 A traumatic toe injury
💢 Arthritis
💢 An unusually high foot arch
💢Wearing shoes that don’t fit properly
💢Tightened ligaments or tendons in the foot
💢Pressure from a bunion, which is when your big toe points inward toward your second toe
