Now that winter is really here, it's a good time to talk about injury. Between hockey games, skiing or snowboarding down the slopes, or other indoor or outdoor winter activities - injuries can happen quicker than you realize. That's why we want to highlight...

🌟 TOP 5 TIPS for INJURY PREVENTION! 🌟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Strengthen! Strengthen all muscles with big, compound movements. If your kiddo is in a sport, strengthening muscles they DON'T use a lot is equally as helpful as training muscles that they do.
2️⃣ Move in ALL ranges of your joints - strengthening and mobility through the FULL range of motion for your joints is the best way to prepare them for any and all movements.
3️⃣ Increase load gradually - don't go from being sedentary to running 5K. This will overload the tissue capacity in your body and could lead to discomfort or injury.
4️⃣ Warm-up—A warm-up is important before starting a workout or sports practice/game. It also doesn't have to be extravagant! The best warm-up is an easier version of what you're preparing to do. Are you preparing for soccer? Try jogging, kicking, and agility movements for your warm-up.
5️⃣ Listen to your body! If something is irritated or painful (over 4/10 pain or painful for hours afterwards), it is telling you that it is too much for that tissue. Pushing through higher pain levels can lead to more serious injuries.

✨ It's the FINAL DAY of our Holiday Gift Guide Series! ✨

Since the start of the week, we have shared physio-approved gifts for kiddos of different age groups. We have covered babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and gradeschoolers, and now we're finishing off our series with PRETEENS (9-12 years) & TEENS (13-18 years) ⚽!

🎁 Paint & Easel: Painting on an easel does more for your children than just allowing their creativity to flourish. It’s a great way to develop fine motor skills since it will allow your teen to use their hand and wrist muscles to make delicate movements. It's also great for posture. Being in an upright position instead of hunched over a desk can be a great way to mix up positions! Plus, studies have shown that it’s a fantastic stress reliever!

🎁 Suction Cup Balls are great for working on throwing skills and can also be combined with other exercises. Have your kiddo practice picking the balls up with their toes or throwing them onto a wobbly surface - we like to hide tough exercises with a fun suction cup ball competition and you can get creative with it, too!

🎁 Twister is a classic game that's known for bringing on some friendly competition among family and peers! At Kids Physio, we love to use Twister to get the body moving, work on core strength, motor planning, and movement patterns, challenge balance, and practice weight bearing through hands and feet. Best of all, it can be adapted to fit everyone's skill level, even children!

We hope you enjoyed following along our Holiday Gift Guide! If you missed a post from our series, be sure to visit our profile to catch up on some amazing physio-approved gifts. Happy shopping and have a wonderful holiday season! 🎄❤️

✨ It's DAY FOUR of our Holiday Gift Guide Series! ✨

We're dedicating this week to sharing physio-approved gifts for kiddos of ALL age groups, and we're almost done! So far, we've covered babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, and today we're sharing our favourite gifts for GRADESCHOOLERS (5 years+)! 🛴

🎁 The Ogodisk Max Set is an excellent choice for kiddos working on hand-eye coordination to improve their ball-handling skills in sports. The large target allows for success and guaranteed fun!

🎁 Scooters are a gradeschooler classic! They're great for building strength, balance, coordination, and power for tasks like running and jumping. Have your kiddo practice by riding up and down the driveway or sidewalk or by maneuvering around their toys in an obstacle course.

🎁 The Hopscotch Ring Set is fantastic for gross motor development, motor planning, and coordination. It can be used in a hopscotch course, combining both single and double-leg hopping patterns to build lower extremity strength and power.

Stay tuned for the LAST post from our Holiday Gift Guide Series which will be on PRETEENS & TEENS! ⚽

✨ It's DAY THREE of our Holiday Gift Guide Series! ✨

We're dedicating this week to sharing physio-approved gifts for kiddos of ALL age groups. So far, we've covered babies and toddlers, and today we're sharing our favourite gifts for PRESCHOOLERS (3-5 years)! 🧸

🎁 Sensory balls are a fantastic choice for helping to encourage catching, bouncing, throwing, and kicking! We love to use them around the clinics because they are brightly colored and softly textured, making them appealing to young kids and safe for play.

🎁 Board games like the Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game can support the development of fine motor skills, such as grasping, grip strength, and hand-eye coordination. Even better if they can use it while in a squat, kneeling, or tummy position to add some full-body strengthening while playing!

🎁 Target boards offer great ways for kids to develop their throwing skills - they can work on their aim, accuracy, and speed when throwing, all while having fun! Target boards come in all shapes and sizes, but we love ones that stick and have different point values.

✨ It's DAY TWO of our Holiday Gift Guide Series! ✨

We’re dedicating every weekday this week to sharing physio-approved gifts for kiddos of ALL age groups. We started with BABIES yesterday, and today we're sharing our favourite gifts for TODDLERS (1-3 years)! 👶

🎁 Strider Bikes are a great option to start your kiddo on the path towards biking. It works on leg strength core stability, balance, coordination, and motor planning. With practice, your toddler will be zipping around the playground in no time!

🎁 Puzzles can help work on fine motor skills, visual skills, and transitions between activities! Our therapists use puzzles that range in difficulty, both to engage and challenge!

🎁 Bowling Pins are a great tool for practicing ball skills! From rolling to throwing underhands to kicking a ball to emerging into toddlerhood, they're fantastic for problem solving and motor planning skills.

Stay tuned for the next set of posts from our Holiday Gift Guide! Up next: PRESCHOOLERS! 🧒

✨ ‘Tis the season for our Physio-Approved Holiday Gift Guide! ✨

First up on our gift guide series is BABIES (0-12 months)! 🍼

🎁 O-balls / rattles are great for encouraging babies to reach while playing on their back and tummy, and prep them for grasping.

🎁 Walkers are a fun toy for getting kiddos to move their feet and can be used as a surface to transition to/from. A big component of learning to walk is balancing and shifting weight from one leg to another - reaching from a walker to another surface is a great way to encourage this as it's a perfect height for babies.

🎁 Squigz are one of our favourite toys to use in our clinics for many reasons! These bright and colourful toys can stick to various flat surfaces and are a toy that will grow with your child. They can be used to chew on (bigger ones), encourage reaching, promote grip strength, fine motor skills, and more!

Stay tuned for our next set of posts from our holiday gift guide series! Up next: TODDLERS 👶✨

Are you noticing your baby is now staying more upright while sitting 🧘, and using their hands ✋to play with different toys?

This demonstrates trunk stability! Which means they are not needing their hands for support anymore in the sitting position 🎉

After babies have developed more strength and maturity in their postural control in static (still) sitting, they are ready to move on to challenging and practicing their dynamic balance - maintaining their sitting balance while moving in and out of their base of support!! 🤩

One way to build the skill of dynamic sitting balance is to place toys/objects ⚾🦖 in front of your baby. We recommend small and simple things that can be easily picked up! This encourages reaching, picking up the toy and then playing using both hands - which are now off the support surface!
