After years of tests and doctor appointments, Birdie Rose finally received answers about her fragile skin condition.

At just seven years old, Birdie was diagnosed with progeria, a rare disease that causes premature ageing and affects the entire body. Finding the right diagnosis and treatment changed more than her healthcare journey.

It helped her gain the confidence and ability to play and live more comfortably – something all children should have.

Her foster mother, Leanne Rands, shares their journey to finding treatment and the care they received at Life The Crompton Hospital in Durban.

Preparing for a demanding fitness sports event like Hyrox requires a focus on training, prioritising sleep for recovery and maintaining a proper nutritional plan to perform at your best. Hyrox combines strength and endurance, but intensive repetitive movements can lead to injuries if muscles become overloaded too quickly. It is essential for your body to build strength progressively and allow sufficient recovery for best performance and injury prevention.

Swipe to learn about common Hyrox injuries, prevention strategies and recovery insights from Kyla Steenveld, physiotherapist at Life Sports Science Orthopaedic Surgical Day Centre.

Contact your GP, who can refer you to a specialist if pain and injuries persist. Find one near you: https://www.lifehealthcare.co.za/our-doctors/

Not sure where to start if you're concerned about your child's development?

Children may need different types of support at different stages of development. Hear directly from occupational, speech and play therapists as they explain their roles and how they may support children in different ways.

If you have any concerns about your child’s development, a GP or paediatrician can help assess your child and guide the most appropriate support pathway.

Download our infographic for a simple guide to three different therapies and how they may support your child’s development.

Stress is a normal part of life, but how we respond to it makes all the difference. Here are a few healthy ways to cope when things feel overwhelming:

Breathe deeply – slow, steady breaths calm your body and mind.
Move your body – a short walk, stretching, or light exercise can release tension.
Stay connected – talk to a friend, family member, or support group.
Take a break – give yourself permission to step away and recharge.
Practice mindfulness – focus on the present moment with kindness and awareness.

Remember: it’s okay to ask for help.

If stress feels too heavy to manage alone, our team at Life St Mark's Clinic is here to support you. For more information on our facility and services, contact us on 043 707 4400 or visit our website: https://bit.ly/49eZpSx
