Backpacks are back!

A backpack that is too heavy or doesn’t fit well can place extra stress on a child’s shoulders, neck, and back.

A few quick things to check before heading out the door:
• Keep the backpack around 10–15% of your child’s body weight
• Use both shoulder straps
• Keep heavier items closest to the back
• Adjust the straps so the backpack sits snugly around the mid-back
• Watch for leaning, shoulder hiking, complaints of pain, or red marks from the straps

And remember the backpack should fit your child, not just look cool.

Have a backpack question? Drop it below and I’ll help!

I can’t wait to incorporate these approaches into my sessions to better support the babies and kiddos I treat every day.

Thank you, Lori Hendrickson, CST for sharing your expertise and passion. Looking forward to continuing to learn and grow my skills to help the kiddos in Hampton Roads.

Fourth of July Fun Starts with Safety

As a pediatric physical therapist and a mom, I love seeing kids make memories on the 4th of July. Here are a few simple tips to help keep the day full of fun instead of unexpected injuries.

❤️Leave fireworks to the professionals. Sparklers may seem harmless, but they can reach temperatures over 1,000°F and cause serious burns.
💙Helmets stay on for bikes, scooters, and skateboards even for a quick ride around the neighborhood.
❤️ Keep everyone hydrated and take breaks in the shade, especially little ones who may not recognize when they’re overheating.
💙 Water requires constant supervision. Designate a “water watcher” if you’re around a pool, lake, or beach.
❤️ Don’t forget sunscreen and bug spray before heading outside.
💙 Watch for hot pavement, grills, fire pits, and other surfaces that can burn little feet and hands.

The best holiday memories are the safe ones.
Wishing your family a happy, healthy, and fun Fourth of July!
