🎄5 Physio Tips for a Healthy Holiday Season🎄

1. Stay Active with Short Bursts of Movement
- Even if your routine is disrupted by parties or travel, schedule small bouts of activity.
- A brisk 10–15-minute walk after meals or light bodyweight exercises can maintain circulation and prevent stiffness.

2. Stretch and Maintain Mobility
- Long hours of sitting (travel, dinners, or lounging) can tighten muscles.
- Daily stretching of the neck, shoulders, back, and legs helps prevent discomfort and keeps joints mobile.

3. Practice Safe Lifting Techniques
- Holiday tasks often involve lifting boxes, decorations, or gifts.
- Bend at the knees, keep the load close to your body, and avoid twisting while lifting to reduce back strain.

4. Hydrate and Balance Nutrition
- Festive food and drinks are part of the season, but dehydration and overindulgence can affect energy and recovery.
- Drink water regularly, balance heavier meals with lighter options, and avoid excessive alcohol to support muscle and joint health.

5. Plan Recovery and Rest
- Busy schedules can lead to fatigue and injury if you skip recovery.
- Use a calendar to plan workouts, rest days, and physio check-ins. Adequate sleep and mindful downtime are essential for tissue repair and overall wellbeing.

✨ Extra Physio-Friendly Reminders
- Travel smart: On long flights or car rides, stand, stretch, and move every hour.
- Listen to your body: Don’t push through pain — adjust activities to your comfort level.
- Start the New Year strong: Book a physio session in January to reset your routine.
