Kibworth Osteopaths and Pilates

03/08/2026

It's August and will soon be back-to-school time, which often means our kids look like they are leaving home with the amount of stuff they require for school!

Think bags, PE kit, forest school kit, musical instruments, lunch box... 

So, it's only right that we ensure they have the right bag to carry all that gear around!

 

🛑  Fun fact... 1.6-11.3kgs is the average weight over 5 days of school for a typical secondary school student 😮

🎒  Rucksacks distribute the weight of the bag evenly. 

👜  Handbags/shoulder bags are one-sided; therefore, so is the weight. Usually always carried on the same side!! 

🎒  Rucksacks leave our hands free 🙋‍♀️

🎒  Secondary school kids often walk around school with their bags and to/from school; that's a long time to be carrying a bag on one side, especially a 11.3kg bag! 

🎒  There are some teenager/preenanger-approved rucksacks out there!

👜  Don't forget, all of this applies to adults too!

🌟  Please remember that this post is intended to help and advise people. If you have any concerns with your health, always see a medical professional 

🌟  I treat people of all ages and am always happy to see you or your child/teen in the clinic to assess and treat any particular issues:

📚 More from the KOPI Book CLUB! 📚 👓

This month's book review:
The Power of Hormones by Dr Louise Newson.

If you've ever wanted to better understand hormones, menopause, perimenopause or HRT, this is a book I highly recommend.

It is a fascinating, evidence based read that explains the role hormones play in women's health and why so many women deserve to be listened to and supported.

As both an osteopath and a woman, I learnt a huge amount from this book, and I hope my review encourages you to read more.

🙌🤔 Why not make that every day action of sitting to standing an exercise? 

✨Well - the good news is you can! Exercise snacks are a genius way of making everyday movements valuable. 

❤️ Let me know how you get on.

😎 Reverse Crunches - this one works the core! 

You can increase the challenge by making it single legged too! 

If you have a sore lower back this may not be for you, but there are SO MANY other ways to train your core. Drop me a message and I will be very happy to help.
