Why Kids Need More Spine-Friendly Active Playtime

Childhood lays the foundation for lifelong health, and that includes the health of the spine. In today’s age, there’s an increase in sedentary habits like excessive screen time. Here are some benefits of spine-friendly active playtime for kids:

  • Enhancing Flexibility: Movements like stretching, twisting, and bending during playtime helps to improve flexibility in muscles and ligaments around the spine. 
  • Strengthening Core and Back Muscles: Activities like the monkey bars help to activate the muscles that stabilize the spine which helps to reduce the risk of back issues.
  • Promoting Bone Growth: Running, jumping, and skipping stimulate bone growth and density making the spine and other bones stronger.
