Keep Charging at and beyond 60 💪✨
As we keep spinning around the sun 🌍, our bodies change — and that’s okay. Here are some quick tips you can start using today to stay strong, mobile and confident:
🔥 Warm up properly
As we age, we naturally hold less water in our tissues. A good warm-up helps lubricate your joints with synovial fluid and gets everything moving smoothly.
📆 Consistency > Boom & Bust
Skip the all-or-nothing workouts. Focus on good form, technique and steady progress. And remember — it’s your workout. Need a break? Take it.
🏋️‍♂️ Strength Training is Essential
From 30–40 onwards, we can lose up to 8% of muscle mass per decade — a process called sarcopenia.
Muscle helps:
✅ Reduce falls risk
✅ Support and cushion joints
✅ Improve blood sugar control
✅ Promote immunity
👉 Aim to lift weights 3x per week
🦵Balance = Brain Training
Standing on one leg might seem simple, but it’s powerful. It trains balance, mobility, strength and even supports healthy brain ageing 🧠✨

And if you need help reaching your goals, reach out — we’re here for you. Get an informed clinical opinion here at Peak MSK Physio. We run GLA:D classes for Osteoarthritis, Bone strength exercise classes, Pilates and can provide specific tailored programmes.

💓Keep up. Keep fit. Keep moving.

🔊Struggling with tinnitus? Physiotherapy might help.

Tinnitus — that persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears — affects millions and can interfere with daily life, sleep and concentration. It’s not “just in your head” — it’s a real neurological and sensory experience. 👂💡

While traditional care from GPs and audiologists is essential, physiotherapy is emerging as a valuable part of the solution, especially for somatic tinnitus — a type linked to muscles, joints and nerves in the neck and jaw. 🧠🤝

Here’s how physio can help:
✅ Assess neck posture and cervical mobility
✅ Address TMJ and muscle tension
✅Use manual therapy + customised exercises
✅Apply neural tapping techniques to retrain the brain’s response
These approaches aim to reduce musculoskeletal contributors that can influence tinnitus symptoms and improve quality of life.

👉 This tinnitus awareness week, talk to our experienced clinicians to see if physiotherapy could be part of your tinnitus management strategy.

🧘‍♂️Did you know that Clinical Pilates can be used in multiple ways for back pain? 🧘‍♀️

There are different approaches to Clinical Pilates, which is a great way to rehabilitate and recondition, but deciding which route to take as a patient without clinical guidance can be difficult. That’s where an informed clinical opinion helps! 🙌🙌
That's with us folks, your movement partners!⁠ 🤩

At Peak MSK, we start all patients with an initial assessment, where we test your structure, analyse your movement, weaknesses, and strengths. 💪
From here, we chart your pathway forward. You might need specific exercises with tailored loading, or you might be someone who needs to train coordination and movement patterns. For most, it is a combination of both, but we'll decide that from your assessment findings. 😉💪

If you’re stuck with back pain and not sure how to move forward, give the clinic a call, and we can schedule a time for your initial assessment. It can be daunting trying something new, but if what you're doing isn't working, we are here to get your mojo back. 🌈

Do you have muscle or joint pains, and you want an x-ray or scan to find that tear, bulge, crack, fissure, or split and then get it fixed? Well here’s why you might want to put a pause on that! 🚫⁠

Did you know that if you were to grab a bunch of adults off the street with no history of problems you would find:⁠

👉️Up to 87% of people aged 20-70 have bulging discs 📊

👉️96% of men aged 40-70 had abnormalities on imaging 👦⁠

👉️About half of those who experience osteoarthritis pain have no visible changed on imaging 🕺👵⁠

👉️Asymptomatic people also have findings on imaging 🤸‍♂️

Jumping to scans to search out the cure will lead to being fixated on false-positive findings, or non-issues. There is also unnecessary exposure to radiation. The overuse of imaging risks your recovery by making your issue more complicated than it needs be.⁠

Seeing your physio for an informed physical assessment is a great first step when you are experiencing pain. Often you can get a diagnosis confirmed by a thorough hands-on examination. Should our examination suggest a need for imaging, the information we have will determine the kind of imaging and views we ask from the radiology clinic. So you don’t need to worry about getting that MRI or X-Ray, unless your health professional deems it necessary. 🩹🩺⁠

As we enter the warmer months, it's important now more than ever to ensure that you are hitting your daily water intake goals! 🎖️💧

Dehydration can present in many different ways. Some common effects on the body can include:
🫗Thirst
😓Headaches or migraines
🥴Dizziness or lightheadedness
💪Muscle cramps or poor athletic performance

How much water should I be consuming? 🤔
On average, individuals should be consuming approximately 1.5-2L of water per day. This amount may vary depending on your level of physical activity or even the amount of salty foods you consume.🧂💦

How does dehydration cause muscle cramps? 🤔
Dehydration in the body can lead to an imbalance of important electrolytes which are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of the muscle. With the process interrupted by the electrolyte imbalance, you may experience muscle cramps as a result! 💪🤕

When you engage in physical activity which causes you to sweat, be sure to drink plenty of water, but also remember to replace your electrolytes. How can you do this? Gatorade, Powerade, Hydralyte, Liquid IV and similar products. 🚰

Stay safe and hydrated this summer, from you favourite physiotherapy team! 💧☀️
