BPT featured in Chapel Hill News article on Children and Exercise
Many thanks to Randy B. Young, sports writer for the Chapel Hill News, for including us in this informative article on children and sports entitled “Too much… too hard… too soon”.
“By 4 or 6 months … a parent you can facilitate early core strength simply by encouraging a child to actively use their body to explore the environment around them,” said the article “Children and Exercise: a Physical Therapist’s Perspective,” authored and published by Balanced Movement Physical Therapy ( www.balancedpt.com.) “Just create a safe environment were they can trip, fall, roll around and get up again without being harmed. Let your child run, jump, hop, skip, bounce, and roll–all activities that can start by the time they are 2 years old.”
