Happy New Year! 🎊 We hope everyone had a joyful and restful holiday season. Now that the festivities are over, it's a great time to focus on daily routines that support growth, strength, and mobility for children.

We’ve put together some simple, physio-based exercises that can make a real difference in your child’s range of motion, upper body strength, and balance.
The Power of Daily Exercise
Incorporating regular stretches and exercises into your child’s daily routine may seem like a small step, but over time, these practices can be life-changing. Not only do these movements help with physical development, but they can also boost confidence and independence in day-to-day activities. The key is consistency—small daily efforts add up to big results!
Try These At-Home Physiotherapy Exercises
If you're looking for ideas to get started, we’ve shared a variety of exercises that are easy to try at home. From improving flexibility to strengthening core muscles, these movements are designed to be fun and adaptable for different abilities.
Here are some exercises to add to your child’s routine:
Core Stability Exercises: Strengthening the core is essential for balance and coordination. Try sitting on a stability ball or balancing on one leg for a few seconds at a time. Make it fun by turning it into a game or challenge!
Range of Motion Stretches: These exercises are great for improving flexibility in arms and legs. Encourage your child to reach for the sky or touch their toes—keeping it playful and rewarding helps keep them engaged.
Upper Body Strengthening: Simple exercises like pushing against a wall or using light resistance bands can build strength in the arms and shoulders. These movements help with everyday tasks like carrying items or even dressing independently.









Make It Fun!
Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. Adding elements of play, like incorporating music, creating a game, or involving family members, makes the experience more enjoyable. You can also tailor these exercises to suit your child’s unique interests and abilities, making the process less of a chore and more of a fun daily activity.
