Between us, we’re seeing more and more people who are just exhausted.

Snoring.
Brain fog.
Flat by 3pm.

A lot of people think it’s just part of getting older.

It’s not always.

We’ll cover what actually causes a bad night’s sleep, the potential health effects if it goes on too long, and the types of exercise that are proven to improve sleep quality.

If your Achilles hurts most
first thing in the morning,
you’re not alone.

That stiff, sore feeling
when you get out of bed
is really common.

A lot of people think
they should rest it.

But what often helps
is gentle loading early.

Nothing aggressive.
Nothing fancy.

Just enough movement
to get the tendon going.

That early load
can actually reduce pain.

So morning pain
doesn’t mean you’ve made it worse.

It just means
your Achilles needs the right start.

Achilles pain is confusing.

Most people think
“if it hurts, I should stop.”

With tendons,
that’s not always the case.

A bit of pain during exercise
is often okay.

You’re not tearing it.
You’re not damaging it.

The Achilles actually needs load
to settle down.

The tricky part
is finding the right amount.

Too little doesn’t help.
Too much flares it up.

Achilles pain isn’t all the same.

The first job
is figuring out what we’re dealing with.

I look at calf size
and side-to-side differences.

I check if the tendon is thickened.

I work out where the pain is,
mid-Achilles
or right down near the heel.

That detail matters.

Because it changes
how we load it
and how we rehab it.

Good rehab
starts with a good assessment.

16/02/2026

One of the first things I test
with Achilles pain
is a single-leg calf raise.

But I’m not just counting reps.

I’m watching how high you lift.
How controlled it is.

What your foot does.
Do you roll in?
Do you shift off it?

I’m also asking
where you feel it.

Then I look at endurance.
Side to side.

Because two people
can do the same number of reps
and look completely different.

Impact Training In Your 40’s 💪

Impact training isn’t just for athletes — it’s key for keeping your bones strong as you approach menopause.

Think about how often you land or push off in everyday life:
🏃‍♀️ stepping off curbs
🩰 hopping over puddles or uneven surfaces
🏋️‍♀️ small jumps during workouts

Impact Progressions:
1️⃣ Level 1 – Heel drops: gently lift onto your toes and drop your heels down, letting your bones feel controlled impact
2️⃣ Level 2 – Jumps: small, controlled jumps, landing softly through your feet and knees

Start with Level 1 and only progress when your body feels ready. Consistency = stronger bones and joints over time!

If you’d like a bit more guidance or someone to check your form, give us a call on 9907 9667 to book a session with our Exercise Physiologist, Hannah 💛
