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

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

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.

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.

Understanding the differences between the different types of head injuries is crucial for appropriate assessment and treatment.

Minor head injuries may cause symptoms such as a headache, mild dizziness, nausea, or a brief loss of consciousness (usually for a few seconds).

Moderate to severe head injuries can result in more pronounced symptoms, including prolonged loss of consciousness (minutes to hours), confusion, vomiting, seizures, unequal pupil size, weakness or numbness in extremities and clear fluids draining from the nose or ears.

Life-threatening head injuries may involve severe neurological symptoms such as profound unconsciousness, inability to wake up, severe seizures, profound confusion, or coma.
