Physio Tip of the Week 1: Sit-to-Stand With Ease

The Movement:
Sit to stand (and stand to sit)

How to Do It:
1. Sit with feet hip-width apart and slightly under your knees.
2. Lean your chest forward slightly and press through your feet to stand.
3. Reverse the movement with control to sit back down.
4. Aim for smooth, relaxed movement — not speed.

Physio Benefits:
• Builds lower limb and hip strength.
• Reduces strain on knees and lower back.
• Improves confidence with daily tasks.

Common Mistakes:
• Using momentum or pushing off the thighs.
• Feet too far forward.
• Collapsing back into the chair.

Why Do This?
Sit-to-stand is one of the most important functional movements we do every day. Improving how you move here supports independence, strength, and joint health.

✨ New for 2026: Physio Tip of the Week ✨

This year I’ll be sharing a Physio Tip of the Week — short, practical movement-based tips designed to help you move more comfortably, feel stronger, and look after your body in everyday life.

Each week will include:
✔ one simple movement
✔ one clear physio message
✔ a quick video you can try at home

We’ll cover everything from posture and mobility, to strength, balance, walking, recovery, and long-term joint health — all in an accessible, realistic way.

No perfect posture. No complicated routines.
Just helpful movement, explained simply.

Keep an eye out each week and move along with me 💚
