Back pain from osteoarthritis? You're not alone… but there’s a joyful, healing way through it!
If you’ve been feeling stiff, sore, or like your spine’s lost its sparkle, you’re not imagining it—osteoarthritis of the back can feel like a heavy weight on your entire life. But what if I told you there’s a way to lighten the load, boost circulation, and even tap into your body’s natural healing magic?
Here’s the secret (and it’s way more fun than it sounds):
1. BOUNCING (Yes, like a big kid!)
Gentle bouncing on a mini trampoline or soft surface stimulates the lymphatic system, which is key to reducing inflammation and flushing out pain-causing toxins. It’s low impact, incredibly energising, and your joints will thank you for it.
2. YOGA (Slow flow = deep glow)
Yoga restores spinal mobility, lengthens tight muscles, and nourishes your nervous system. It creates space in the joints and invites calm where pain once lived. Special focus on breathwork and spinal twists can be game-changing.
3. PILATES (Core love)
Strengthening your core and deep stabilising muscles supports your spine like scaffolding. It brings back confidence in your movement, so you stop guarding and start flowing again.
4. TAPPING (for lymph & relief)
Think EFT meets lymphatic therapy. Gentle tapping along the body’s meridians—especially around the neck, underarms, chest, and groin—helps your lymph system move more freely. Less stagnation = less pain.
Pain might be your current chapter… but it’s not the end of your story.
With the right movement, breath, and a dash of playfulness, your body can become your greatest ally again.
