It’s arthritis awareness month 🤍

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of joint pain and stiffness, especially in the hips and knees. While rest might seem like the solution, research consistently shows that exercise is the most effective first-line treatment to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life 📉☺️🌿
 
A well-rounded approach includes three key types of exercise

🏋🏻‍♀️ Strength training helps support the joint by building muscles like the quadriceps and glutes, reducing stress on affected areas. Simple movements such as sit-to-stands, bridges, and modified squats can make a meaningful difference

🏊🏻‍♀️ Low-impact aerobic exercise—like walking, cycling, or swimming—improves fitness, reduces pain, and supports overall health.

🧘🏻‍♀️Balance and flexibility work, including activities like Pilates, yoga, and Tai Chi, can enhance coordination and reduce fall risk.
 
Consistency is more important than intensity. Aim for regular movement each week, choosing activities that are manageable and sustainable 🔄✨ Some mild discomfort during exercise is normal, but sharp or worsening pain should be avoided ❌
 
If you are managing arthritis and are interested in an individualised assessment and management plan, contact the clinic today to book in with one of our fantastic osteopaths (especially Jesse!) today.

Fibromyalgia Awareness Day: How the Perrin Technique can help you 🌿

Fibromyalgia Awareness Day (12th May) helps shine a light on a condition that affects many people yet is still often misunderstood. Fibromyalgia can involve widespread pain 💥, fatigue/poor sleep 💤, brain fog 😶‍🌫️, headaches 🤕, and increased sensitivity throughout the body 📈- all significantly impacting daily living.

Fibromyalgia is increasingly recognised as a condition involving changes within the nervous system, particularly heightened pain sensitivity and altered stress responses 📈💥. Some emerging theories also explore the role of the lymphatic and immune systems 🔄, similar to some theories on chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). While research is ongoing, this broader understanding helps explain why symptoms can extend beyond pain alone.
Because fibromyalgia is complex, many people benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to care 🤲🏻. Alongside movement, pacing, stress management, and medical support, gentle hands-on therapy may also play a role. One approach gaining significant interest is the Perrin Technique 👏🏻

Developed by Dr Raymond Perrin (Osteopath), the Perrin Technique is a gentle manual therapy approach that focuses on supporting the lymphatic system, circulation, and nervous system regulation 🔄

Treatment includes manual therapy techniques to the spine, chest, and soft tissues, along with breathing and self-management strategies 💆🏼‍♀️🫁📄

As fibromyalgia and ME/CFS often share overlapping symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, cognitive fog, and pain, many people with fibromyalgia are interested in this approach 🤩

If you or someone you care for is living with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, come and book in with Kat, our Perrin Technique trained osteopath to see if this gentle, manual therapy approach can help you! 🤲🏻✨
