Now is the Time!

Dull and chronic aches and pains can really affect our well-being, from stopping us doing the little things like putting our shoes on or playing with the kids or grand-kids. We could accept the status quo, or we could challenge our bodies and reap the benefits this Spring.


Keep Moving

When we ache it can be tempting to refrain from even light exercise or take extra bed rest. In fact, both can be counterproductive. The best advice is to keep moving to stop yourself from seizing up. Walking is a very important form of movement.

Stop Carrying Your Bag On One Shoulder Carrying your things on one side of the body causes muscle imbalances and pain. Trying using a trolley bag or a rucksack. Ditch the heels

If you regularly wear heels or ballet pumps, or indeed any shoe with little support, think about leaving these for special occasions and wearing a lace up boot or sports shoe. Lack of ankle support can impinge on calves, hamstrings and the lower back. 

Get a regular massage

This one speaks for itself: regular massage can help avoid injuries, iron out imbalances and recommend stretches and lifestyle changes where needed.
