❄️ Why Cold Weather Makes Muscles & Joints Ache

As temperatures drop, many people notice more stiffness, tightness, and joint pain. Here’s why:

💨 Reduced blood flow: Cold weather sends blood to your core, leaving muscles tighter and less flexible.
⚙️ Stiffer joints: Muscles can hold more tension, making joints feel more rigid — especially if you have arthritis or old injuries.
📉 Less movement: We naturally slow down in winter, which can increase stiffness.

How to Feel Better

🔥 Warm up properly
🧣 Dress in layers
🚶 Stay active with gentle movement
💪 Build strength to support your joints

Struggling with winter aches? We can help keep you moving comfortably. Send us a message to book in

When back pain has been persistent and keeps on coming back - you need more help for your body to recover, build up strength and flexibility and be able to go about your daily activities without pain.

Call us, or send a message to find out more about this programme and if you'd be a suitable candidate.

There is no one size fits all when it comes to back pain treatment. Sometimes a couple of sessions of hands on therapy is all you need, other times there's a bit more effort needed to help you get the results you expect.
➡When you need to strengthen up your muscles, improve flexibility and general health more globally, then a joint approach can be really effective.
In fact, its the evidence based gold standard for low back pain treatment.
➡Following a full physiotherapy assessment, if you are at a point where specialist exercise therapy would be beneficial - along side your physio treatment, then this is for you.
Send us a message and we'd be happy to discuss your suitability for this innovative programme. 🩵💪
