Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in the hands and wrists are common for anyone who spends hours at a keyboard. Over time, the constant clicking and typing can lead to stiffness, pain, and even long-term conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

But the good news? A few simple habits can make all the difference:

🖐 Tips to Look After Your Hands:

Take Micro-Breaks: Every 30–45 minutes, rest your hands and stretch your fingers.

Adjust Your Setup: Keep your wrists straight and elbows at a 90-degree angle.

Stretch it Out: Try wrist circles, finger stretches, and palm presses throughout the day.

Strengthen & Support: Use a stress ball or hand therapy putty to build strength.

Stay Warm: Cold hands are more prone to strain, keep your workspace warm and your muscles relaxed.

If you're already feeling the strain, you're not alone and you don’t have to push through the pain. Our team at Optimal Rehab Physio can assess, treat, and guide you with a plan tailored to your needs.

Your hands do a lot for you. Give them the care they deserve.

When we're unwell, whether recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or navigating a long-term medical condition, it’s easy to feel isolated or overwhelmed. But for many people, a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or a warm nudge can make all the difference.

Here’s what pets bring to our lives during times of illness or recovery:

✨ Emotional Support: Pets offer unconditional love and companionship, helping reduce anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness.

✨ Routine & Purpose: Feeding, walking, or simply caring for a pet adds structure and a sense of responsibility, which can be especially helpful when motivation is low.

✨ Physical Activity: Even gentle walks with a dog can aid mobility, boost circulation, and support rehab goals.

✨ Social Connection: Pets are natural icebreakers, encouraging interaction and reducing social isolation.

✨ A Calming Presence: Studies show pets can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, and promote a sense of calm.

For many, pets aren’t just companions, they’re quiet healers.

They don’t need to say a word to remind us we’re loved, needed, and not alone.

At Optimal Rehab Physio, we see the whole person, not just the condition. We know that healing often has four paws and a tail.

Keep moving, keep living 🏃‍♀️….
‌
As we age, movement becomes more than just exercise, it’s a lifeline.

Staying active keeps our joints supple, muscles strong, and minds sharp. Whether it’s a gentle walk, stretching, swimming, or strength training, every bit of movement matters.
‌
Why movement is key as we age:
📌Boosts circulation and heart health
Improves balance and coordination (less risk of falls!)
📌Supports bone density and joint mobility
📌Lifts mood and reduces stress
📌Helps you stay independent for longer
‌
It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what’s right for you. Start small, stay consistent, and choose something you enjoy.
‌
Need guidance? We’re here to help you move smarter, not harder.

🧘‍♀️ Start your day the right way – with a stretch!
Before diving into emails or heading to your desk, take a moment to stretch it out – your body (and spine) will thank you later.
‌
Even just 5 minutes of gentle morning stretching can:
📌Wake up your muscles and joints
📌Improve circulation and posture
📌Reduce stiffness from sleep
📌Prepare your body for long hours at a desk
‌
Whether you're working from home or in the office, staying seated all day can tighten your hips, shoulders, and lower back. But with a few intentional stretches each morning, you're setting yourself up for better focus and less discomfort throughout the day.
‌
It’s the small routines that create long-term relief.

Need guidance on the right stretches for your desk job lifestyle? We're here to help.

Feeling Inflamed? It Might Be Your Fork, Not Just Your Form! 🥄🔥
‌
When it comes to managing inflammation, what you put on your plate can be just as important as your rehab routine.
‌
Certain foods can act like fuel to the fire, increasing inflammation and making recovery harder than it needs to be. If you're dealing with ongoing pain or stiffness, it might be time to check in on your diet.
‌
🍟 Foods to limit or avoid:
Processed snacks and fried foods
Sugary drinks and excessive added sugar
Refined carbs like white bread and pastries
Processed meats
Alcohol in large amounts
‌
These can all contribute to chronic inflammation, and keep your body from healing efficiently.
‌
🥦 Instead, fuel your body with:
Colourful veggies and leafy greens
Omega-3 rich fish like salmon
Nuts, seeds, and healthy oils
Whole grains and legumes
Antioxidant-rich fruits like berries
‌
Reducing inflammation isn’t just about pain relief, it’s about setting your body up for better movement, faster recovery, and long-term health.
‌
Need guidance on how to manage pain holistically? Our team at Optimal Rehab can help you connect the dots between movement, mindset, and meals.

🌀 Back Pain Isn’t Just Part of Getting Older
