๐Ÿ—“ 13 Days to World Spine Day! Letโ€™s explore ๐Ÿ—“ 13 Days to World Spine Day! 
Letโ€™s explore a powerful part of physical literacy: our relationship with movement - how we feel, think, and connect with movement throughout our lives. 

๐ŸŸข The joy of dancing in your kitchen
๐Ÿ”ต The confidence of walking tall
๐ŸŸข The freedom of stretching without pain
โžก๏ธ Itโ€™s personal, emotional, and deeply human

When we nurture a positive relationship with movement, we build the foundation for lifelong wellbeing.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What does movement mean to you?

โฑ๏ธ WSD COUNTDOWN: 14 Days โ‰๏ธWhat is Phys โฑ๏ธ WSD COUNTDOWN: 14 Days 

โ‰๏ธWhat is Physical Literacy? A lifelong journey that goes beyond fitness or sport. Itโ€™s about having: 
๐ŸŸข Motivation โ€“ wanting to be active 
๐Ÿ”ต Confidence โ€“ believing you can move well 
๐ŸŸข Physical competence โ€“ developing movement skills 
๐Ÿ”ต Knowledge and understanding โ€“ knowing why activity matters 

When these elements come together, people are more likely to stay active throughout their lives โ€” not because they โ€œhave to,โ€ but because they enjoy it and feel capable. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

โ“Why does it matter? 
โœ”๏ธHelps prevent health issues like obesity, diabetes, and back pain
โœ”๏ธSupports mental wellbeing, resilience, and social connection
โœ”๏ธBuilds healthier families and stronger communities.

Living with Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) can feel isolating, but it doesnโ€™t have to. The @caudaequinachampions has built a vibrant, supportive community where survivors and those affected by CES come together to share, listen, and uplift one another. 

โฐ Every final Thursday of the month, they host online support meetingsโ€”safe spaces where we talk openly about recovery, relationships, pain, and hope. These gatherings have grown from humble beginnings to international conversations, with guest speakers and heartfelt connections that remind us: we are not alone.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ The Botswana Baby Box Initiative is a community-led effort to provide a box of essential items that support safer sleep, proper positioning, and healthy early movementโ€”empowering families with knowledge that protects and nurtures their babiesโ€™ health from the start. ๐Ÿšผ 

BBBI includes a visual, language-free guide that helps caregivers understand: 
๐Ÿ”ต How to support healthy posture and movement in infants 
๐ŸŸข Why core strength and positioning matterโ€”even in early months 
๐Ÿ”ต How spinal mechanics affect development and comfort

๐Ÿง  Why it matters: Early movement, safe sleep, and proper positioning are key to healthy spinal and brain development. Many caregivers arenโ€™t aware that simple daily habitsโ€”like how a baby is held, carried, or placed to sleepโ€”can shape lifelong neuromusculoskeletal wellbeing.

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy World Patient Safety Day! Practical a ๐ŸŽ‰ Happy World Patient Safety Day! 

Practical advice for patients and caregivers: 
๐ŸŸข Encourage active play and posture awareness in children 
๐Ÿ”ต Promote safe lifting, stretching, and movement habits 
๐ŸŸข Engage patients in their care decisionsโ€”physical literacy starts with understanding your own body 
๐Ÿ”ต Advocate for safe systems: accurate diagnosis, infection prevention, and proper equipment use 

The @who 2025 campaign โ€œPatient safety from the start!โ€ means ensuring safe, age-appropriate care from birth onward. But safety isnโ€™t just clinicalโ€”itโ€™s also about education, empowerment, and movement.

Inappropriate opioid prescriptions can lead to dependency and overdose, contributing to the global opioid crisis.

Did you know many back pain cases are treated with opioids, even when there are safer, proven options? The World Health Organization (@who) guidelines emphasize exercise, spinal rehabilitation, and education as crucial for managing low back pain. Choose a safer path to pain relief!
