Moving more is good for our mental health, so what's stopping us?

During , let's talk about the often-overlooked connection between chronic pain, unaddressed injuries, and mental well-being.

Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing. It also helps prevent and treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer, among other benefits. Despite these benefits being well established, over a third of UK adults do not meet the recommended amount of activity.

Living with chronic pain or untreated injuries can significantly impact mental health. The constant discomfort, limitations in daily activities, and uncertainty about the future can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and depression.

If you're experiencing chronic pain or dealing with an unaddressed injury, it's essential to seek professional help.

Don't let pain hold you back. If I can help out, you know where to find me.

With 59 Wainwrights to go and a goal to finish them by the end of the year, I have started to get some knee pain.
I've just had a scroll through and I'm referring back to these before another weekend of fell walking! Does anyone else have goals they're striving for this year?

Lets talk about movement.

Movement isn't just about exercise; it's a cornerstone of your well-being. Here’s a reminder of all the juicy benefits of movement:

Improved Flexibility: Movement keeps your muscles and joints supple, reducing the risk of injuries and enhancing your range of motion.

Stronger Muscles: Engaging in physical activity helps you build and maintain muscle strength, supporting your daily activities.

Better Posture: Proper movement patterns and exercises can help correct posture issues, reducing aches and pains.

Stress Relief: Movement releases endorphins, your body's natural stress-busters, leaving you feeling happier and more relaxed.

Enhanced Cardiovascular Health: Regular movement promotes a healthy heart, improving circulation and lowering the risk of heart disease.

Weight Management: Combining movement with a balanced diet can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Mental Clarity: Physical activity boosts cognitive function, helping you stay sharp and focused.

Better Sleep: Quality sleep is crucial for recovery, and movement can help you achieve restful nights.

So, time to get outside in this sunshine for a walk (even if you have a little sit down half way), a gentle yoga session, or get in touch for one of my rehabilitation programs 😁

Prehab plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving overall physical health and preventing injuries. While warm-up exercises are essential for preparing the body before engaging in sports or exercise, prehab goes beyond immediate effects and focuses on long-term injury prevention.

Incorporating prehab into a regular exercise routine can have long-lasting benefits and contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

I recommend a program for lots of sports people. Cross fitters, fell runners, and those of you training for that Lakes Man that is just around the corner.

Get in touch so you have a program in place to remain injury free and smash those PBs.

Is taping right for you?
Taping is frequently used as a supplementary or temporary technique. In the presence of an injury, athletes often rely on taping as a protective measure.
Taping can be used for various purposes, such as
1. Stabilising or supporting an injury
2. Reducing pain by relieving stress from sensitive or painful structures,
3. Promoting natural movement, muscle activity, or postural patterns,
4. Boosting athlete confidence
5. Providing pain relief

If you're interested in taping to give you a boost of confidence when performing at your best, get in touch.

Do you only consider seeing a physiotherapist when you have pain or are already injured?

You are not alone! Whether you are an athlete or lead a relatively sedentary lifestyle. However, seeking advice and treatment before you start experiencing symptoms, in my opinion, is the best approach. By seeking preventative care, you can avoid injuries and manage your health and well-being better.

Although correct physiotherapy and rehabilitation can provide great results, preventing injury from occurring in the first place is always best.

Whether it's playing with your kids, enjoying your hobbies, or ticking off that goal of running a marathon, you need to be pain-free and healthy. Preventative physiotherapy isn't just for athletes and sports people; it's for everyone.

There are a few factors that impact how many physiotherapy sessions you need and how long it takes for you to see results. Of course, each treatment program is tailored to each person's needs, so your results will be unique. But generally, after each appointment, you should notice improvements in movement and a reduction in pain. Particularly if you're sticking to your treatment plan. If you do not feel you're progressing, make sure to tell your physiotherapist about your concerns.
