Thinking About Running? 🏃‍♀️

It’s a great time to get moving, but don’t forget your body might need a bit of time to catch up with your motivation! Sudden increases in running can lead to common injuries like shin splints, knee pain, or tight calves.

If you’re starting running again:

✔ Build up gradually
✔ Warm up properly
✔ Don’t ignore small niggles

Knee pain, shin discomfort, or tight calves are common when getting started—but they’re also manageable with the right support.

Start steady, build gradually, and listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, getting it checked early can make all the difference.

🐾 **🎉 Roar-some News! 🎉** 🦖

This lovely dino has been spotted having a dino-mite adventure at Bridgeman Terrace, but don’t worry, he’s safe and sound now!

He’ll be hanging out at the door of the **Bridgeman Centre** (18 Bridgeman Terrace) waiting for his best buddy to come pick him up! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

So, if you’ve been missing your cuddly dino pal, grab your explorer hats and dash over to rescue him! Remember, he’s not just any teddy—he’s a *T-Rex-tremely* special friend! 🦖💚

P.S. He promises not to eat your snacks... unless they’re gummy worms! 🍬😂

We’d love to see where your walks take you - send us a picture of your spring strolls! 📸

🌱 Gardening & Your Back 🌿

Love getting out in the garden but not loving the back pain after? You’re not alone! Repetitive bending, lifting, and twisting can take a toll if your body isn’t supported properly.

Here are a few quick physio-approved tips to protect your back while gardening:

✅ Bend your knees, not your back when lifting
✅ Keep tools close to your body to reduce strain
✅ Avoid staying in one position too long – mix it up!
✅ Use a kneeling pad or low stool for longer tasks
✅ Take regular breaks and stretch it out

A little awareness goes a long way in keeping you pain-free and doing what you love 🌼

If your back is already complaining, don’t ignore it—early treatment makes all the difference to find out more call 01942 321235
