Future Proofing Specialist
The Role of the Specialist Coach
To ‘turn children on to’ living a healthy active lifestyle. This means they choose to participate in regular physical activity and make healthy choices themselves.
The Specialist Coach enables the child to access a range of sports and activities and promotes healthy choices with regards to activity, lifestyle and diet through a positive role model.
Children are educated as to what healthy choices are and to work to develop these skills. This includes the confidence and motivation to access these on a daily basis.
Specific goals can include:
- Improving cardiovascular / aerobic fitness
- Developing fine and gross motor skills
- Weight management and weight loss
- Improving muscle tone, strength and flexibility
- Channelling behaviours in a positive way
- Educating parents and caregivers about physical activity and healthy choices
- Building physical activity and healthy choices into daily routine
- Developing confidence and motivation
Specialist on -site facilities include a fitness suite and computerised recording of personal profiles.
Other services available to Therapy in Praxis include paediatric -focused nutritional and dietetic advice.
