🎒Back to School! 📚

As students head back to the classroom, it's the perfect time to check in on their posture, movement, and daily habits to keep them feeling their best.

Here are some Physical Therapist-Approved Tips to kick off the school year strong.

✅Backpack Safety:
- Wear both straps
- Keep the pack above the waist
- Limit weight to 10-15% of your child's body weight
- Choose padded straps and use chest and waist belts if available

🪑Desk/Posture Tips:
- Knees and hips should be at 90°
- Feet flat on the floor
- Back supported
- Reading material/screens at eye level
- Encourage standing/stretching every 30-45 mins - Movement is medicine!

🛌Sleep and Hydration Matters:
- Consistent bedtime routine
- 8-10 hours of sleep for school-aged kids
- Avoid screens 30 minutes before bed
- Aim for half your child's weight(lb) in ounces of water per day. For example, an 80lb child should try to drink 40 oz. of water
- Water intake should increase with hot weather and activity

🤸Stay Active:
- Aim for 60 minutes of movement a day
- Sports, walking, biking, and recess all count!
- Encourage good warm-ups and stretching prior to being active

Ever wonder what those circular bruises or marks might be from? It might be cupping! And not like the ones from The Coffee Pot☕😅

Cupping therapy is a technique available in physical therapy to help:
✨Reduce muscle tension
✨Speed up recovery
✨Improve circulation
✨Relieve pain

By creating suction on the skin, cupping helps bring blood flow to tight or sore areas! It can help separate the layers of tissue to release restrictions and allow tissues to glide better.

Curious if cupping might help your recovery? Ask your physical therapist at your next visit or call us!
