🎭 Undercover Therapy – Hiding Therapy in Play 🎲✨
Did you know games like UNO, Jenga, and Play Dough aren’t just fun — they’re therapeutic?

If you’ve ever seen a paediatric therapy session and thought, “Wait… they’re just playing games,” — you’re not wrong. But there’s more to it than meets the eye! 👀

🃏UNO
More than a card game! It builds:
✔️ Social skills (taking turns, coping with losses)
✔️ Planning + flexible thinking
✔️ Fine motor skills (holding, organizing cards)
Try playing ‘Snap!’ with Uno cards for extra focus, reaction time, and number/color recognition 🧠

🎯 JENGA
Jenga = fun + focus + fine motor control.
👉 Great for learning patience and coordination.
👉 Try rule variations (like using only one hand) or add questions to blocks to spark conversations!
👉 Giant Jenga = full-body engagement 💪

🎨 PLAY DOUGH
So much more than squishing and shaping:
✔️ Strengthens fine motor skills
✔️ Encourages teamwork + communication
✔️ Opens the door to emotional expression
✔️ Bonus: Making the dough = an intro to measuring, following steps, and even cooking skills!

💡 These playful moments hold powerful learning opportunities. This school holiday, gather the family and try a therapeutic round of Uno — disguised as fun 😄

🏋️ Why the Squat is Key for a Stronger, Healthier Body 🏋️

The squat is essential for protecting your lower back, improving posture, and staying strong as you age. It strengthens key muscles like the glutes, quads, and lower back—helping with everyday tasks like lifting groceries, picking up kids, and even getting off the couch.

Exercises like squats and kettlebell swings reinforce this pattern, reducing pain, preventing injury, and enhancing overall mobility. A strong lower body makes daily activities easier and helps keep you injury-free as you age.

To take your strength and mobility to the next level, book an appointment today! Click here >> https://bit.ly/3zeaIOa

We recognise ANZAC Day as a national day of remembrance. 

Please note that Active Performance is closed today. 

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 

Lest we forget 🌹

Tayla spent some time on Groote recently, catching up with the ladies and getting involved in a big week of activities. 

 🎣Val and Desiree enjoyed a fishing trip on country—lots of laughs and a good day out on the water. 

 💪 Later in the week, she teamed up with Liyandra and Desiree for an exercise session. 

The group always enjoys moving together—it’s a great way to stay active and stay connected.
