Reminder: take care while walking in this weather! ❄️🚶

Be careful when walking on wet surfaces, make sure to slow your pace down to give yourself time to react and adjust to the surface. Short steps help keep your center of balance over your feet.👣

Most importantly, no hands in pockets! Keep your hands out of your pockets to help with balance and break your fall - just in case! 🫶

💪Patient Story: Keith

“Embrace physio - Matt and Naomi are excellent! I have been attending every two weeks for a couple of years now, for a maintenance programme in which I have remained injury free enabling me to keep weight training and swimming. This will continue as part of my long term plan with additional help regarding strength and conditioning. This has given me a vital support mechanism.”

As we head into what usually becomes a stressful time of year, your body can feel the repercussions. Stress can manifest itself in many different ways and it can even impact your musculoskeletal system.😧

In prolonged stressful situations, muscles can remain constantly tense, leading to tightness, general aches, and pain. This happens especially in the neck, shoulders, and lower back and can even manifest as tension headaches.🤕

Get ahead and start thinking about you. If you think stress is impacting your body, tick one thing off your mind and come and visit us at Embrace Physiotherapy.✅

How much do you think about your posture when driving? 🚘

Having good posture while behind the wheel is very important as sometimes a large part of your day can be spent driving around. Not only does your posture improve alertness and reduce fatigue, but it also prevents back and neck pain by ensuring proper support and alignment for your spine and muscles.👏

Here are three tips to remember when thinking about your car posture.

👉 Adjust your headrest
The top of the headrest should be placed between the top of the ears and the head, touching only the back of the head when sitting comfortably.

👉Use lumbar support
Set your vehicle's adjustable lumbar support (using both the front-back and up-down controls) to feel an even pressure from hips to shoulders.

👉Adjust the vehicle mirrors
Prevent neck strain by properly adjusting your rear-view and side mirrors. If you can no longer see out of your rear view then that’s a sure sign that you’ve given into the slouch!

If you’re suffering with any pain while driving, why not come in for an assessment? You can book online easily here: https://www.embracephysio.co.uk

Stop the scroll. Craning your neck down to look at your phone? Stop! Let’s have a reset before you end up with tech neck! 🤚📵

Performing these neck stretches regularly can help maintain flexibility and relieve tension.😌

👉 Neck Tilt
Gently tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder, hold for 15-30 seconds, and repeat on the other side, 3 each side

👉Neck retraction
Stand or sit upright. Fixate an object at eye level as you move your head back, tucking your chin and elevating the back of your head as if a string is pulling it upward. Hold the position and release. Repeat x 5-10.
