Why Do Aches & Pains Get Worse at Christmas? (this isn't the first part of a Christmas cracker joke!! 😂)

Whether it’s extra sitting, long car journeys, lifting decorations or those marathon family dinners, many of us notice aches and niggles flare up over the festive period — even when we thought we were relaxing!

If you’ve found yourself with sore shoulders, stiff hips, back tension or general discomfort after the holidays, you’re not alone — and it’s not just “getting older”.

We’ve just published a helpful blog that explains why Christmas aches and pains happen, and what you can do about them to feel more comfortable as we move into the New Year.

Whether it’s resetting your posture, reducing tension or simply helping your body unwind after a busy season, we’re here to help.

Have you noticed more stiffness after Christmas? Let us know below!

Christmas aches and pains often flare up due to stress, sitting and disrupted routines. Learn why festive pain happens and how Amatsu Clinic in Abergavenny can help.
