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.

❤️ A heartfelt milestone in advancing cardiac care

We are proud to share that Life Kingsbury Hospital has successfully performed its first Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedures.

TAVI is an established, minimally invasive treatment option for appropriately selected patients with severe aortic stenosis, a condition in which the heart's aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow and potentially causing symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort and reduced exercise tolerance.

The introduction of this service expands access to advanced cardiac care closer to home for patients in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs and surrounding communities. This achievement reflects the expertise and collaboration of resident cardiologists Dr Chevaan Hendrickse and Dr Ebrahim Banderker, together with a dedicated multidisciplinary team of surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and radiographers.

We thank all the healthcare professionals whose skill, teamwork and commitment to patient-centred care made this milestone possible.
