Department of Sports Hosts Stretch & Recovery Session for Honouring Women’s Month 2026

The Department of Sports continued its Honouring Women’s Month (HWM) 2026 activities with a Stretch & Recovery session held on 23 March, focused on promoting physical wellbeing and sustainable movement practices.

The session was led by Jermaine James, Physiotherapist at The Physiotherapy Center, and welcomed 18 participants. Attendees were guided through a series of deep stretching routines and core-strengthening exercises designed to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall body awareness.

Stretching plays a vital role in maintaining muscle health, reducing the risk of injury, and supporting recovery. Equally important is core strength, which provides stability, improves posture, and enhances balance – all key elements for everyday movement and long-term wellness.

The session offered participants practical techniques they can incorporate into their daily routines, reinforcing the importance of caring for one’s physical health as a foundation for an active lifestyle.

Aligned with this year’s International Women’s Day theme, #GiveToGain, the session also served as a reminder that personal wellbeing is essential to sustained contribution. By taking the time to care for their own health, individuals are better equipped to support others, remain active in their communities, and continue to give of themselves in meaningful ways.

The Department of Sports remains committed to providing opportunities that support the holistic wellbeing of women and the wider community throughout Honouring Women’s Month and beyond.
