12 Jan The children 😁are excited… the anticipation is reaching its peak😬… ONE MORE SLEEP TO CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Christmas is a magical time for children and making memories with families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦As you enjoy the holiday season with the family, here at My Favourite Physio, 🤓 we want to wish you and your loved ones a Fabulous Christmas and safe travels.

Just a quick reminder to look after yourself as you enjoy the festive 🎉season as this is also the season of falls and accidents! A few quick tips to make sure you and your little ones stay safe :

#1. Be mindful of your backs and perform safe lifting when moving boxes 📦or large items. Always bend your knees 🦵to lower yourself to the ground to pick up any item, carry the box close to your body and push through your legs to straighten up. Avoid twisting motions to prevent back pain and back injuries. 😳

#2. Be mindful of hot drinks ☕️around Little Ones. Don’t hold a baby 👶🏻on your lap while you are having a cup of coffee or tea. Accidents happen when the Little One suddenly raises an arm and hits the cup of coffee ☕️off your hand and hot coffee spills over the Baby causing serious chest burns. 😳😳

#3. Keep an eye on the children 🧒when around the swimming pool 🏊‍♀️ or beach. 🏖 Assign an adult who is not drinking or overtired to be on watch by the pool, to supervise the children in the pool. Accidents can happen within minutes if a child is left unattended by a pool or if the adult falls asleep 😴by the pool or beach.

This festive season, a little vigilance will go a long way.
