Today is World Paediatric Bone and Joint Day! Over 230,000 children in the UK live with long-term MSK conditions. We can’t afford to ignore their bone & joint health. Young people deserve timely access to MSK services close to home. Local, accessible services prevent problems

Prevention starts in childhood and lasts a lifetime. MSK health relies on building movement, strength & balance at every stage of life. This #Bone&JointWeek, we're calling for systems that support daily movement, active play & physical confidence from the early years onward.

A 10-Year Health Plan is only as strong as its actions. If we want prevention, digital innovation, and care closer to home MSK must be front and centre of implementation. Let’s make the Plan real for the 20 million people living with MSK. #BoneAndJointWeek @WeAreARMA

When working with youth athletes, keep it simple. Choose exercises that are easy to teach but deliver a big return on athletic development. Explosive throws—like squat throws, scoop tosses, slams, and clean & jerks—are excellent for building power and serve as a natural bridge
