Many women going through menopause often face new shoulder pains, especially after starting the all important muscle and bone building exercise. It's a bit of a kick in the teeth tbh 😐.... but it needn't be the end to your new found gym habit.
All it may take is some tweaks and guidance but it is crucial to distinguish between conditions like rotator cuff and frozen shoulder as they need very different approaches - exercise that helps one can be provocative for the other.
Explore the best approaches to ease your pain by checking out out latest article.

Many peri and post-menopausal women experience new aches and stiffness, with the shoulder being a prime culprit.

Such sad news and a crying bloody shame. A wonderfully raw and honest interview and you can see the obvious shock and bewilderment on their faces. Trying to process the news of a huge diagnosis and not wanting to look the future in the face 😞.

An awfully cruel disease and having had the privilege of helping to care for some MND patients I've seen that they, and their families, are a rare breed. The MND Association is doing much to support both current patients, their families AND fund research to find a cure, treatment or prevention for this terrible disease.

Best wishes to all those fighting the fight. My thoughts are with you all.

Former England captain Lewis Moody says in an exclusive BBC interview he has "a reluctance to look the future in the face".

Scar tissue forms naturally as the body heals itself following either surgery or injury. It’s the body’s way of replacing damaged skin, muscle, or tissue with fibrous tissue. While this process is essential for healing, it can sometimes result in stiffness, discomfort, or restricted movement. Scar tissue tends to be denser and less elastic than normal tissue, which can limit mobility, cause pain, and can often be red and unsightly

Scar massage can help with :
⭐ Reducing stiffness of scar
⭐ Less itching and soreness
⭐ Improving appearance

Acupuncture, like Reflexology, isn't a cure for migranes but can be. a powerful way of modulating the nervous system and brain so they process pain differently. Basically, it means the brain copes with incoming pain signals better by either blocking them, releasing the bodies own natural painkillers or improving blood flow to maximise blood flow to the brain.
Positive side effects are :

✅ Reduced Frequency and intensity of attacks
✅ Decreased medication reliance
✅ Reduced side effects of medication

As with many complimentary therapies Acupuncture should be considered as one part of a holistic plan to manage migraines and reduce the disruption they cause to a patients life, work and play.

All of our Acupuncture is performed by qualified Physiotherapists, registered and accredited with both AACP and HCPC. To see how we can help why not call us or check out our website for more details and booking links.

Whilst it's crucial to understand that Reflexology is not a cure for migraines, it can be a powerful holistic tool often used alongside conventional medical treatment to manage migraine symptoms. Especially when combined with Indian Head and relaxation muscle work around the TMJ joint in the jaw as this can also contribute to pain and tension within the head - both as a cause and effect of the pain - when we are in pain or stressed we tense our jaw and the cycle continues.

Jo uses these treatments alongside her Reflexology in 'The Combo' session to help combat symptoms as part of a plan to manage migraines and ease the disruption migraine causes.

Migraine symptoms can vary from person to person as can the type of migraine. For instance not everyone gets an aura with their migraine whilst others can have problems with balance during an attack. However there are several features in the graphic that are fairly consistent in the majority of migraine sufferers.
Prime symptom is the moderate to severe headache, throbbing pain starts and persists which may be accompanied by nausea, vomitting or visual disturbances.
The next stage of migraine is the recovery or post drome phase and this can often be the most disruptive as it can last for days. A hung over, faitigued state that can leave a sufferer feeling very spaced out, drained and struggling to perform.

Migraine is often dismissed as just a ' bad headache ' but it's a far more comlpex neuurological picture which is why treatment for it benefits from a multi-pronged approach rather than just taking some painkillers and drinking more fluids ( although both of these are methods of helping manage the symptoms ). It is hugely disruptive to many people's lives and, as with any illness or disorder, the knack is finding the best ways for you to control it so it doesn't control you.

Medication, hormone balancing, dietary changes can all help but it's important to find the ' right ' recipe for your migraine.

Three of the biggest triggers for migraines that researchers have found ?

⚡ Disturbed sleep patterns
⚡ Skipping meals
⚡ Inactivity

It's thought the stereotypical red wine, dark chocolate and cheese etc are actually cravings or warning signs that a migraine may be imminent.
