🎒💻 Homework shouldn’t come with a sore neck.
Back to school means more time sitting at desks, carrying backpacks, looking down at devices, and spending long hours studying.
And while there’s no single “perfect” posture, staying in one position for too long can leave growing bodies feeling stiff, sore and uncomfortable.
A few simple ways to help:
🪑 Change positions often. Movement is better than trying to sit perfectly all day.
📚 Set up their workspace so their screen and books are easy to see without constantly looking down.
🚶 Build in movement breaks between homework, gaming and screen time.
🎒 Make sure their backpack fits properly and isn’t overloaded.
🤸 Encourage regular movement and activity outside of school hours.
If your child is regularly experiencing neck, shoulder or back pain, headaches, or discomfort that is interfering with school, sports or everyday activities, a Physiotherapy Assessment can help identify what's contributing to it.
