Why running matters
As physios, we love to see kids running. Whether they play footy, netball, or just enjoy running, kids learn best when they are excited about what they are doing! So, if your childs wants to run faster or improve their coordination and agility skills, we would love to help! Running helps with coordination, motor and muscle development and boosts our mood and self-esteem.
For some of us running well doesn’t come naturally. There are tips and tricks to running that we share as part of our sessions. Our aim is to build running confidence so kids want to run more often.
Age appropriate skill development
Activities:
- Running drills for speed and form
- Fun agility drills to improve coordination and speed
- Developing power and strength for jumping
- Collaborative games
- Active play for health and fun
- Injury prevention/management tips

She still loves running, and all the health benefits it brings, which is why she has designed this holiday program for kids of all skill levels. She is joined by our other paediatric physio Olivia, to roll out a comprehensive program in small groups.
