Physical Therapy 4 Kids

It's important to remember that our kids are unique and to encourage their uniqueness. Find their strengths and interests because this is what is helping them to learn. It's true for all of us, not just the kids.  Have a great week discovering "Uniqueness"!

Your feet, the way nature intended them to be.  Researchers show that regular physical activity without shoes may improve children's and adolescents' balancing and jumping skills . Researchers show that children and adolescents who spend most of their time barefoot develop motor skills differently from those who habitually wear shoes. Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics, this is the first study to assess the relevance of growing up shod vs. barefoot on jumping, balancing and sprinting motor performance during different stages of childhood and adolescence. Results suggest that regular physical activity without shoes may improve children's and adolescents' balancing and jumping skills. Regular barefoot time at home should be encouraged. #physicaltherapy4kids #pt4kids #barefoot #balance #physicalhealth
