Izzy's Secret Weapon: Boxing Gloves Transform Physio

Aleks has been flying through his physiotherapy sessions. The stretching, the balancing exercises, throwing objects onto lilies, switching hands, switching legs – he'd mastered them all. But let's be honest: for a six-year-old with endless energy levels, it was all a bit… boring.

The Game-Changer

That's when Izzy, his brilliant physiotherapist, revealed her secret weapon: boxing gloves.

The moment those gloves came out, Aleks's eyes sparkled in a split second. This wasn't just another physio exercise – this was fun!

Why It Works

Boxing isn't just entertaining – it's incredibly effective physiotherapy. Every punch engages core muscles, requires balance and coordination, builds strength, and burns through that seemingly inexhaustible energy that six-year-olds possess in abundance.

More importantly, when therapy feels like play, children engage completely. No reluctance, no need for encouragement – just pure, focused effort wrapped in excitement.

Finding Joy in Recovery

This is what brilliant physiotherapy looks like. Izzy understood that keeping Aleks motivated wasn't about making exercises harder – it was about making them more engaging. She found a way to channel his energy, work his muscles, improve his coordination, and develop his strength, all whilst making him feel like he was just having the time of his life.

Our Gratitude

Thank you, Izzy, for your creativity, your understanding of what makes children tick, and for making physiotherapy something Aleks actually looks forward to. You're not just helping him recover – you're showing him that hard work can be joyful.

Best physio ever! 🥊
