FREE spine and Posture checks for kids

​It is becoming more apparent these days that children are developing postural imbalances at an earlier and earlier age.  In fact, some research indicates that children as young as 10 years old are demonstrating visible spinal degenerative changes on x-ray. I don’t know about you, but to me this is kind of alarming. These postural changes can be caused by numerous things such as, spending too much time in front of a computer or TV, looking down at digital devices too much, not enough physical activity etc.

Some of these postural changes can cause discomfort, but a lot of them do not cause any discomfort…. at least not yet.  It is these spine and postural changes that can be the cause of problems later in life. I look at your spine like an engine.  If parts are not running properly they often wear out quicker.  Your spine, or any joint for that matter, is the same.  If they are not working well, there is a good chance they will wear out faster. This is why a good checkup is useful for your car....... and for your body.

One of the services we offer at the clinic is FREE spine and posture checks for school aged children. During these checks we will:

• Perform an assessment of general posture 
• Check general spinal function
• Assess a particular issue he/she may have
• Make recommendations based on the findings

 
If your kids are getting a little restless these school holidays maybe it will be a good opportunity to bring them in for a FREE spine and Posture check. Simply call the clinic to arrange a time. You have nothing to lose and their bodies will thank you for it.
