๐๐ SCHOOL IS BACK! Are you and your student ready for it?! ๐๐ฆด
The backpacks are packed, school supplies are ready, and the first bell is right around the cornerโฆ but is your studentโs spine ready for school, too?
Before the school year gets into full swing, run through this quick checklist:
โ
๐ Backpack check โ Is it too heavy? Keep it around 10โ15% of your childโs body weight when possible (More than that can cause muscle strain!)
โ
๐ช Desk & sitting posture โ Feet supported, back supported, and avoid spending hours hunched over a desk or device.
โ
๐ป Screen time check โ Encourage regular breaks instead of staying in one position for long periods. ("Tech Neck" affects around 70% of school aged children!)
โ
๐ Movement matters โ Make time for stretching, playing, sports, and simply getting up and moving throughout the day.
โ
๐ด Sleep setup โ A comfortable sleep environment and consistent sleep schedule are vital for your child's well being. Proper sleep supports daily focus, memory storage, emotional balance, and physical growth!
โ
๐ฆด๐ฉป Spinal check-up โ If your student is experiencing recurring neck or back discomfort, headaches, or other musculoskeletal complaints, then don't delay! Get them checked out and back on the road to success!
Healthy habits today can help build a stronger foundation for tomorrow!
Ready, set, SCHOOL! ๐โ๏ธ
