Get Set Go Physiotherapy

Quite often we recommend office people to get their chairs and walk. However for teachers who move from one classroom to another and spend long hours standing, it is very important for them to sit down and rest their legs.  Statistics:- 73% of teachers experience neck and shoulder pain.  53% experience knee problems. 33% have complications of the hip joint. 82% complain of musculoskeletal disorders at least once a week.  Long hours of standing and constantly on the go demand a whole lot of toll on the muscles and joints thereby resulting in sprains and strains which often goes unnoticed under the pretext of maybe because of tiredness or stress, maybe I'm aging and so on and so forth.

Most of our knowledge is based on the foundation of so called myths and self proclaimed tips and tricks.        One of which is children should not be allowed to walk bare foot. Their feet are sensitive so they'll develop cuts and furthermore infection.           In my opinion and career practice I've known that balancing in children is developed and improved by walking on bare foot on uneven surfaces, sand, grass etc. But ofcourse keeping in mind the safety aspects.
