Physical development in Children

kids1Childhood Obesity is becoming a major concern today.  Children are less active due to less time spend outside.  This is due to various causes, some of which are things like, less required sport participation, safety concerns and today's TV and and video game culture.

The lack of physical conditioning amongst children also lends itself to under developed motor skills, muscular strength, endurance, balance and coordination.  These factors have a huge impact on academic achievement, sport participation and achievement, concentration, weight management and self image.

The Biokineticist addresses the specific needs of children of different ages in order to improve their physical profile.  We work in conjunction with various other professions including Occupational therapists, Doctors, Dietitians and many more to ensure the optimal physical development of your child.
