* Boosts self-esteem,
* School performance, attention and behaviour.
* Reduces anxiety, tension and depression.
* Fosters teamwork and friendship when it's part of an organised sport.

This August is Women's Month, and today is national Women’s Day in South Africa.

We want to take this time to firstly thank all our female biokenticists who go out of their way to care for their patients and the Biokinetics field - You are seen, valued and appreciated.

This month, we also want to encourage women, and all those around them, to take care of their bodies by moving their bodies and actively working to prevent disease. You can find a Biokineticist on www.biokineticssa.org.za, and don’t forget to follow us on social media at @BiokineticsSa.

Exercise post polio is an important component of a patients recovery.

Exercise aims to increase muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness and will add to a patients sense of wellbeing. Muscle weakness must be addressed and exercises are constructed accordingly to build stamina and reduce fatigue.

Today is Osteoathritis Awareness Day! Let us look

Today is Osteoathritis Awareness Day! Let us look at protecting your joints:

- FACT! Exercise does not wear out joints, but rather strengthens and protects them.
- Always warm-up and cool down when engaging in physical activity - Skipping your warm-up can put your joints at a higher risk of strain and overloading on your muscles and joints, putting them at risk for injury.
- Listen to your body’s cues - Joint pain after exercise is telling you there is something wrong (we suggest then to consult with a Biokineticist to prescribe an individualised program).
- Balancing low-impact exercises with your higher impact activities to strengthen the muscles that help protect your joints.
- Increase the flexibility of your joints by warming and stretching before and after exercise - When a joint is stiff, it can alter the stresses seen during activities and it’s more prone to swelling, which can weaken the muscles protecting the joint.
- Plan to quit smoking - Smoking and tobacco use are risk factors for cardiovascular problems to cancer and can hamper your joints.
- Replace energy drinks and soda with water - Water makes up about 80 percent of your body’s cartilage (the flexible, connective tissue that cushions your joints).
- Don’t let extra weight overtax your joints
- Wear the right shoes - Regardless of the activity, shoes should provide cushioning, stability, and comfort while being flexible.

Find a Biokineticist on www.biokineticssa.org.za to assist you in preventing or treating osteoarthritic conditions.
