As a teacher, something you must always remember is how impressionable the young minds we teach are. Children absorb so much from what is around them, but unfortunately a lot of what they absorb these days comes from social media. Social media can absolutely be a valuable tool for sharing ideas and inspiration but, as a largely unregulated area, it can also be a place where dangerous practices and misinformation are spread. Dance teachers are often asked by students “Can we try this? I saw it on YouTube/TikTok/Instagram and it looks so cool” and too often these are dangerous stretches such as oversplits, fad practices such as foot stretchers, or harmful moves such standing on the front of the toes. Luckily, due to the knowledge gained through my years with Philip Cutts Pain Management Rehabilitation I am able to guide my students with detailed but age appropriate anatomical discussions that disprove a lot of the trends they see online. We talk about overstretched ligaments that lose their elasticity and their ability to support our joints, we talk about the importance of balancing flexibility with strength and stability, and we talk about body developments such as growth plate closures and how these must be protected. Taking that knowledge, we can still find dance moves and skills that “look cool” but are anatomically safe and appropriate. #philipcutts #danceeducation #injuryprevention #safeguarding #MSK #dancemedicine Emily Redding Vikki Emberton Kayleigh Sargeant Rebecca Onley Melissa Bartlett Annie Fitton Danielle Emms Leroy Johnson

Every August the American Association of Ophthalmology (AAO) celebrates August as Children's Eye Health and Safety Month. It's a great time for back-to-school vision screenings and ensuring your child has appropriate eye protection for the upcoming sports season. Here’s a few tips kids’ eye safety tips: 🔹 Wear sunglasses outdoors to prevent UV damage 🔹 Wear eye protection when using tools or doing home projects 🔹 Use eye protection while swimming or playing contact sports 🔹 Take regular breaks from the computer or tablet when working on homework Protect your kids against eye injuries and talk about the importance of eye safety.

When you look at this video I want you to see kids having an egg and spoon race over some obstacles having some fun. That is also what I want them to experience. What I won’t ever tell them is that we are working on - balance - core stability - motor planning - fine motor skills Gross motor skills To deliberately work on these skills in isolation with boring repetitive exercises would ruin the experience for the kids and reduce compliance and engagement. Not to mention that integrating skills achieves much more in less time. . Play-based paediatric physio may, at face value look like we’re just having a whole lot of fun playing games.. but we’re building strength and skills that will improve endurance, strength and capacity and most importantly suelf esteem in our kids for their futures. The smiles at the end are the most important part. #playbasedpaediatrics #peterbishopphysioandrehab #NDaffirming #NDIS #paediatricphysiotherapy

ACLR Rehab: Split Stance RDLs vs Arabesque I love them both in my rehab plans. But if I want to really go after hamstring strength, we need to have a stable base to work from - then I'm doubling down on Split Stance RDLs If I want to challenge balance, proprioception, proximal chain capacity; then I'm going hard at Arabesque. Can we have both in the rehab plan at the same time - of course you can! But we need to understand the difference between the 2 exercises Continue watching this FREE 1hr ACL rehab Practical by clicking here https://lnkd.in/gynursg3
