💥 Back Pain? You’re Not Alone! 💥
Around 80% of the UK population will experience spinal pain at some point in their lives. This discomfort can come from nerves, joints, ligaments or muscles — and often lingers when the right treatment or advice isn’t given.

The good news? A few simple movements can make a big difference. 🙌
Here are three physio-approved exercises to help ease stiffness and support your spine:

1️⃣ Cat-Cow Stretch – improves mobility and relieves tension in your spine.
2️⃣ Child’s Pose – lengthens your back and encourages full-body relaxation.
3️⃣ Figure 4 Stretch – releases tightness in your hips and lower back, perfect for those who sit for long periods.

🧘‍♀️ Try these at home to keep your back happy — or better yet, let one of our physiotherapists assess your movement and tailor a plan to your needs.

📅 Book your appointment today and take the first step towards a stronger, pain-free back!

⭐️Inspirational client time⭐️

Meet Judith, she has been attending regular Mat & Reformer classes with us for a number of years.

Classes focus on helping to improve her strength, balance & posture. Sessions have helped her rehabilitation of a glute tendinopathy, rotator cuff injury and ongoing management of her osteoporosis.

She is really an amazing lady who has overcome injury & pathology, staying strong & having fun along the way!

Here’s what Judith has to say about why she still attends classes after all these years ….

“I started mat pilates in 2019 due to a tendonopathy in my hip. Whilst having investigations for that problem it was found that I had osteoporosis. I love my mat classes but then I went on a taster session for the reformer. I wasn’t sure at first thought it would be too much for me but booked a couple of classes and two years on I absolutely love it. My osteoporosis has remained stable, & I feel so much stronger! It is my time to switch off for an hour and find it helps me mentally.”

Did you know the drop in oestrogen during menopause can affect your tendons? 😕

When oestrogen levels fall, collagen breaks down faster and takes longer to rebuild — meaning your body needs more time to recover and heal. That’s why tendon pain or injuries can feel like they hang around longer than they used to!

If you’re running, lifting weights or doing any kind of training, remember to:
✨ Build up distance, weight or reps slowly
✨ Give yourself plenty of rest and recovery time

And if you’re struggling with a tendinopathy, you’re definitely not alone. Healing might take a bit longer, but with the right support and advice, you can get back to feeling strong and confident again 💪

We’re here to help ❤️
