FOOTWEAR AFFECTS POSTURE
READY FOR SCHOOL ? New tablet, new back pack and new shoes.

Shoes provide the platform for standing, allowing natural foot and ankle movement when there is a secure fit. Shoes for school should require tieing and have a heel support.

A proper fitting shoe provides stable balance and protection while walking up and down stairs and walking all day on cement and tile floors.

Most students even through high school are growing, perhaps not in height, but bone, muscle, tendon and ligament tissues are all developing.

Wearing a supportive shoe that fits influences foot development and gait.

Feet grow according to stress and function. The proper shoes can prevent foot abnormalities and ensure mobility for all the bones and joints of the foot and ankle.

Shoes that you wear all day should be different than the shoes you use for sport activity.

Shoes should be for function first then fashion.

BACK PACK ADDED

BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN are very common daily complaints for students, requiring thousands of emergency room visits each year.

Keep in mind that the backpack weight adds work for your feet and legs.

Many back problems are created not by the back pack alone but the lack of support for body from inadequate foot wear. More support from footwear allows the extra weight from back pack and contents to be evenly supported through the entire spine and legs.

If possible have a back pack that fits the length of your back and has an abdominal strap, to use when waiting for bus or walking to and from school.

Clearly the back pack is meant to be over both shoulders and packed with the heaviest items close to your spine.

With your backpack on- look in the mirror, and see if your ears are over your shoulders, and your shoulder are over your hips for standing and walking.

Sound posture affects mood and mood affects posture. Sound posture also prevents fatigue. Sound posture creates confidence and affects physical performance--- on and off the field!

Bonus for some School Health Programs:

If there is Scoliosis screening at your school. (it is mandatory in 26 states) Don't miss it. Those 10 minutes can call attention to how the spine is growing ,and prevent many health issues throughout life and insure you grow as straight and tall as possible- in comfort.

"DON'T FALL" "DON'T FALL"

We say this to people of all ages, but the falls and consequences are very different between young and old.
FEAR of falling itself can lead to reduced activity and mobility. For the older population a fall can lead to severe consequences such as broken bones, head injuries and even death. Age related, conditions such as poor posture with poor balance, weak muscles and poor vision all contribute to
falls. Frequently long rehabilitation after a fall results in deconditioning and further decline in health.

Young people are not immune to falls. Falls are leading cause of injury among children from playground accidents and sports. They are more resilient and recover faster. However there can be lasting effects if time for proper healing and therapy requirements are ignored .Premature return to activities can lead
to more significant injuries.

Young and old should watch out for environmental hazards, slippery floors, ice, uneven sidewalks, and dark areas and distractions from cell phones.

Be careful! Wear supportive footwear!
