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.

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/

Erase the stigma around mental health during World Mental Health Awareness Month

The stigma surrounding mental health makes people feel ashamed of something that is out of their control, making them hesitate to ask for help.

How can you erase the stigma?
- Educate yourself about mental health conditions. Knowing what the conditions are and who they affect will reduce misconceptions.
- Think about the words you use when talking about mental health conditions. Avoid insensitive and hurtful words, or words that have negative associations. Remember, a person is not defined by their condition.
- Treat people with mental health conditions with dignity and respect, offer support and encouragement.

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.
