There are several factors that can cause weight gain even if you are not eating much:

1. Slow metabolism: If your metabolism is slow, you burn fewer calories at rest than someone with a higher metabolism.

2. Lack of exercise: If you are not exercising regularly, you are not burning as many calories as you should be, and this can cause weight gain.

3. Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances in the body, such as an underactive thyroid gland, can cause weight gain.

4. Medications: Certain medications can cause weight gain, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and corticosteroids.

5. Stress: Stress can cause weight gain as it triggers the production of cortisol, a hormone that promotes the storage of fat.

6. Lack of sleep: Not getting enough sleep can cause weight gain as it disrupts the hormones that regulate appetite.

7. Genetics: Genetics can also play a role in weight gain even if you are not eating much. Some people are more likely to gain weight due to their genetic makeup.

8. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause your body to retain water, which can lead to bloating and weight gain.

9. Insulin resistance: Insulin resistance is a condition in which your body does not respond to insulin properly, causing your blood sugar levels to rise and leading to weight gain.

10. Age: As you age, your metabolism naturally slows down, making it more difficult to lose weight even if you are not eating much.

11. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as Cushing's syndrome, PCOS, and hypothyroidism can cause weight gain even if you are not eating much.

12. Hidden calories: It is possible that you may be consuming more calories than you realize, such as snacking between meals or consuming high-calorie drinks.

13. Changes in muscle mass: If you are not exercising, you may be losing muscle mass, which slows down your metabolism, leading to weight gain even if you are not eating much.

It is important to take a holistic approach and consider all of these factors when trying to identify the reason for weight gain despite limited calorie intake.

Ankle and Foot Pain – our feet and ankles are pivotal in keeping the rest of the body stable and mobile, as they absorb the impact of walking, running and jumping, and ensure that we can stand without putting unnecessary pressure on other muscles or joints. The feet contain almost a quarter of the body’s bones, as well as hundreds of connective ligaments and tendons. Combined with the complexity of the ankle joint, both are very susceptible to injury, with the ankle being the most commonly injured joint.

We want to help keep you on your feet with our extensive knowledge and treatment options for feet and ankle pain. Like with any other part of the body, we should listen to our feet and notice the changes we may feel. Are your feet feeling more fatigued? More sore? More swollen? Regardless of the issue, our Physiotherapy team will be able to help you!

Primary Function of our lowest weight bearing joints

The main function of the feet and ankle is to provide stability as we move around, whether on the sporting field or during activities of daily living. The feet and ankles assist in supporting the body’s weight, ensuring other joints such as the hips and knees are able to function properly.

The feet and ankles are also one of the most vital components of posture and balance, as their stabilisation assist the rest of the body. Through the anatomy of the foot, the sole of the foot enables other joints to keep stable without overextending.

Foot and ankle pain can happen suddenly or slowly over time. It can then impact heavily on our day to day function and quality of life, interfering with sport, exercise, work and daily activities. The exact cause, type and location of the pain is always unique to each individual, which means there is no single ‘fix’ for all pain around the foot and ankle. Given that the exact cause of your pain can be quite complicated, it is important that a thorough assessment is undertaken by your physiotherapist to ensure any underlying issues are addressed. This enables a solution to be found that works for you, provides long term relief and stops the issue from re-occurring.

Physiotherapy can help you with your foot and ankle pain through education, hands on techniques and personalised, targeted exercise programs. As experts in functional movement we assess, diagnose and treat movement related disorders and help you to recover from injury. Pain should not have to limit you from participating in what you enjoy.

For most ankle related pain, a short period of reducing or modifying high impact or weight-bearing activities can be helpful in the early interim, especially in instances where tendinopathy or acute episodes of arthritic related pain are present. Alternative activities such as bike riding or swimming can be safe and even beneficial during this time, however should be advised by a health professional before commencing. Depending on assessment findings, other specific non-weight bearing strengthening exercises may be prescribed that include theraband resisted movements of the ankle joint.

It is always important to have your ankle pain properly assessed so that we know exactly what the cause is and what the best management strategies for you will be.
