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.

As we age, joints naturally change — but stiffness, pain, and loss of mobility don’t have to slow you down. Strong, well cared for joints help you stay active, independent, and doing the things you enjoy for longer.

What you can do to protect your joint health:
• Stay active with low-impact exercise like walking or swimming
• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce strain on joints
• Stretch regularly to improve flexibility
• Support your joints with a good diet
• Don’t ignore ongoing joint pain or stiffness

Routine check ups can identify joint issues early and help prevent further damage.

At Life Knysna Private Hospital, our dedicated team of orthopaedic surgeons is here to help protect your mobility, independence, and quality of life for the years ahead.

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.

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.
