❄️ The cold weather is well & truly here, try to protect yourself from injury with these tips 🥶

As the temperatures drop your body will feel the change. Here’s how it can impact your muscles & joints and what you can do to try & stay injury free:

❄️ Why does it increase injury risk?

🥶 Tighter muscles; the cold can cause the muscles to stiffen up, which reduces your mobility & flexibility and could result in sprains and strains

🧊 Joint stiffness; the colder temperatures can make joint pain worse, especially if you have an old injury or arthritis

🥶 Slower warm ups; when it’s cold it takes longer for your body to warm up and therefore loosen up which increases the risk of pulling/hurting something if you skip your warm up/prep

✨ Tips to prevent injury & stay active:
💫 Warm up for longer: spend more time on light cardio & dynamic stretching before jumping into your activity
💫 Layer up; wear layers to help keep your muscles warm especially if you’re outside
💫 Hydrate; even in the colder months your body still needs water to perform at your best
💫 Listen to your body; stiff or sore?? Stop and reassess, pushing through can make things worse or result in injury.

If you have any pain or discomfort please just get in touch and we can have a look.

Why is your core strength key to a healthy body?!

Did you know your core muscles do more than “give you abs” ?

A strong core is essential for:
✨ Reducing lower back pain
✨ Improving posture
✨ Enhancing balance and stability
✨ Supporting proper movement in every day activities

Here at AAP we aren’t just looking at quick fixes, I want to help you build lasting strength and resilience to movement through some smaller specific core stability exercises and also incorporating them into your gym routine and lifting programs. Always specific to your goals and body needs.

Want to start building a strong foundation for your body? Get in touch today to book an appointment.

8️⃣ August availability!

Another full month in clinic, couple of Friday afternoon's off but other than that you will find me in Ellon on a Monday and Wednesday and at Reform Physio on a Tuesday and a Thursday.

Pilates is running as normal, Tuesday mornings, Thursday evenings and online on a Wednesday morning.

You guys kept me busy in July with over 70 patients in Aberdeen, 55 patients in Ellon, 43 pilates classes and I managed to squeeze in covering 4 football games 😮 But I absolutely love what I do, so thank you all!

🧘‍♀️New Pilates blocks start this week🤸‍♀️

The new block of Physio- led Pilates will start this week, the Tuesday morning class is currently full and a waiting list is open.

Both Thursday evening classes have spaces in them at the moment, so if you want a challenge or to give pilates a try get in touch to book.

✨Optimise your recovery the right way.

We know you're itching to get back to your old self ASAP
🧊💊But if your first move is to grab the ice pack and ibuprofen you might be slowing down the magic ✨

Heres the truth: Ice & ibuprofen are anti inflammatory, and inflammation isn't always the enemy!
It's your bodies way of protecting itself and starting to rebuild muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones- basically making you stronger than before. 💪

So maybe skip the "anti- everything" and focus on the good stuff:
🥗 Eating enough (plenty protein)
💧Staying hydrated
😴 Get good quality sleep
🚶‍♀️Gentle movement (movement is medicine)

No need for fancy hacks, just simple, solid recovery done right!
