Exercise is extremely important in the management

Exercise is extremely important in the management of Down Syndrome.

- These patients often have underdeveloped cardiovascular systems and therefore exercise can help improve their cardiovascular fitness
- they generally also have low muscle tone and hyper-flexible joints and need muscle strengthening.

However, the wrong exercise prescription can result in injury and other problems. It is important to seek help from a medical professional such as a biokineticist to get the correct care and advice.

A head injury can be devastating.

A multi-disciplinary team approach works best in this sort of rehab, including the biokineticist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist.

Management of such conditions is not easy but through biokinetic treatment, we can help improve quality of life.

Get in touch with a biokineticist near you to see how they can help.
