Sole Sisters!

Girls ages 9-13 yrs only (FREE limited spaces available - please pre-register: https://www.selcra.com/ViewCourseActivityDetails.aspx?id=C2490)
In today's age of social media and click bait articles, young girls are consistently exposed to false information surrounding exercising and body image.  Together, Apex Physical Therapy along with Running Lab, Whey Better Bakery and Perspectives Therapy Services aim to provide a fun adventure run through Downtown Brighton filled with facts, exercises and empowering messages!

Our adventure begins at Running Lab at 6 pm sharp where girls will receive an introduction to proper running form and basic safety awareness tips in order to keep them safe while running outdoors.  Next, we'll take a short jog over to APEX Phusical Therapy where staff will teach them about the importance of strength training and it's impact on our bodies and self esteem.  Lastly, we will run over to Studio 111 and end with a cool down as well as a discussion and recap with Perspectives Therapy Services. 

Topics include how to manage unrealistic and unhealthy expectations surrounding body image, how to stay active and healthy and continue to get joy from sports and being active.  At the end of the day, we hope that all girls will derive joy and confidence from running and being active and hope to foster that relationship!
