Winter Training Aches… or a Real Injury?❄️
Cold weather changes the way your body moves — and knowing the difference can save your season.
When temperatures drop, your body shifts fast:

Here’s why 👇🏻
What cold does to your movement:
🧊 Thicker joint fluid → stiff, “sticky” motion
💥 Less muscle elasticity → higher strain risk
⏳ Slower neuromuscular firing → delayed power + more compensations
🥶 Rushed warm-ups → your body isn’t ready for load
That combination makes it tough to tell:

🚩 Red flags to pay attention to:
• Sharp or pinpoint pain
• Swelling or heat
• Pain that worsens as you move
• Loss of strength or range
• Pain that changes how you walk, lift, or train
If any of these show up — we want to see you.👀
How we keep athletes healthy all winter: 🛠
We focus on restoring efficient, resilient movement through;
🙌🏻 Adjustments — improve joint motion so you warm up better + move cleaner
🤩 Manual therapy — reduce tension + improve tissue glide
💪🏻 Rehab — rebuild stability, retrain patterns, and keep cold-weather compensations from turning into injuries
Encouraging takeaway: 🎯
Winter training doesn’t have to mean training through tightness or guessing what your body’s telling you.
