Joint Surgery

Simple daily movement helps keep joints lubricated and supports circulation. A short morning walk, gentle stretching, or light play with children or grandchildren can maintain joint flexibility without placing unnecessary strain on the body. Consistency matters more than intensity, especially during busy holiday periods.

Festive fun can often mean more movement than usual, from beach games to backyard sports. Jumping straight in without warming up or pushing through pain can increase the risk of joint injuries.

Move smart, warm up properly, and respect your limits so you can enjoy the season without unnecessary aches or setbacks.

The festive season often comes with extra sugary treats and savoury snacks. While enjoying them is part of the celebration, too much sugar and processed foods can increase inflammation in the body, which may lead to more joint pain and stiffness.

A balanced approach makes a difference. Foods rich in omega-3s, lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains help reduce inflammation while supporting bone strength and healthy cartilage. Enjoy the treats, but remember that your joints benefit most from nourishing choices in between.

Low-impact does not mean low results.

Activities like cycling, swimming and walking are excellent for keeping your joints mobile and strong without excessive strain. These exercises build endurance, maintain flexibility and reduce stress on knees and hips, making them ideal for rehabilitation or everyday fitness.

A proper warm-up is your first line of defence against injury.
Before every workout or match, take 10 minutes to activate your muscles and increase blood flow. This simple step helps protect your joints and improve flexibility.

Cold muscles are prone to strain and stiffness, while warm muscles perform better and recover faster.

Rehab Isn’t Just for Injury – It’s for Prevention Too

Rehabilitation exercises aren’t only for those recovering from surgery or injury. In fact, regular short, targeted exercises that strengthen and stabilise your knees — can help prevent problems before they start.

Focus on improving muscle strength, joint mobility and balance. Movements like step-ups, glute bridges and resistance band work can keep your knees aligned, your ligaments strong, and your joints supported.

Whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or simply want to move pain-free as you age, dedicating just 10 minutes 3 times per week to joint-focused rehab can make a long-term difference. Prevention today means freedom of movement tomorrow.

🎾 Padel Red Flags – When to Press Pause

“It’s just a niggle…” 👀
No, it’s your body asking for a timeout.

Here’s when you should listen and step back:
🚩 Persistent knee or shoulder pain after playing
🚩 Swelling or stiffness lasting more than 48 hours
🚩 A sharp “pop” during movement or sudden instability
🚩 Tingling, weakness, or loss of strength
🚩 Pain that worsens every time you play

Padel is meant to be fun, not painful. If your body keeps sending warning signs, don’t push through. Get assessed early and stay in the game longer.
