THE �TABLET SLOUCH� � CHILDREN NEED A PHYSICAL OUTLET
Continued usage of tech devices and mobile apps can affect a child�s spinal posture and lead to nueromusculoskeletal changes. As gadgets and devices are becoming increasingly more commonplace in households, it has become much easier for children to spend more time on these and less time exercising. It�s very common for adults to suffer from back/neck pain from being sat at a desk all day looking at a screen, and the same is happening for children.

Boosting self-esteem and confidence.
Increasing strength and flexibility.
Enhancing co-ordination and balance.
Improving body awareness.
Boosting mental concentration.
Preventing injuries.
