Your body is not meant to stay in one position for long. Whether you are sitting, standing, or lying down, holding the same posture for hours can cause stiffness and tired muscles. Changing positions helps your joints move, and your muscles stay active.

Try switching between sitting and standing during the day. Take short breaks to stretch or walk for a few minutes. Even small movements can improve circulation and reduce discomfort.

If you notice stiffness building up often, a physiotherapist can show you positions and habits that keep your body comfortable throughout the day.

Shoulder surgery often results in stiffness and weakness. Gentle exercises help restore movement and support healing. Movements usually start small, focusing on letting the shoulder move without strain.

Your physiotherapist may begin with simple pendulum exercises, where your arm hangs down and moves gently in circles. Over time, exercises

progress to controlled stretching and light strengthening. These steps protect the healing tissues and prevent stiffness from becoming a long-term issue.

It’s important to follow your physiotherapist’s instructions closely. Doing too much too soon can slow recovery, while avoiding movement can increase stiffness. A balanced approach ensures a safe return to daily activities.

After exercise, it’s normal to feel some soreness. This usually feels like a dull ache in your muscles and appears a day or two after training. It improves with gentle movement and rest.

Injury pain is different. It may feel sharp, sudden, or worsen during activity. Injury pain can also be linked with swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving a joint.

Knowing the difference helps you train safely. If you’re unsure, physiotherapists can assess your symptoms and guide you on what your body needs.

Many people spend long hours sitting for work or study. Over time, this can strain your back and create stiffness. Protecting your spine starts with good posture and simple habits you can follow every day.

Sit with both feet flat on the floor and keep your back supported. Your shoulders should stay relaxed, and your screen should be at eye level. If your chair doesn’t support your lower back, place a small cushion or rolled towel behind you.

Take breaks every 30 to 45 minutes to stand, stretch, or walk. These short moments of movement help reduce tension and improve circulation.

If sitting often causes discomfort, a physiotherapist can assess your posture and guide you on exercises that build strength and reduce pain.

It’s normal for swelling to come and go after surgery or injury. As you start moving more, your body works harder, which can cause mild swelling to return. This is part of the healing process.

Rest, gentle movement, and elevating the affected area often help reduce swelling again. Using ice packs may also help, depending on your stage of recovery.

If swelling becomes more painful or does not improve with rest, speak to your physiotherapist. They can check whether your exercises need adjusting or if something else needs attention.

Strength training helps young athletes move better, reduce injury risk, and build confidence. Many people worry that strength training is unsafe for children, but when it is supervised and done correctly, it supports healthy growth and movement.

Stronger muscles protect joints during sport. They help young athletes run faster, jump higher, and stay balanced during quick changes in direction. Training also teaches good movement habits, which reduces strain on the body.

The key is using correct form, light resistance, and age-appropriate exercises. A physiotherapist or trained coach can help create a safe, fun routine.

Walking is one of the simplest ways to support healthy joints. It keeps your muscles strong, improves circulation, and helps your joints move smoothly. Even short walks can ease stiffness and reduce discomfort in the hips, knees, and lower back.

Regular walking also helps maintain a healthy weight, which reduces pressure on your joints. For many people, walking is gentle enough to start even when recovering from stiffness or mild pain. You can begin with a few minutes and gradually increase your time as your body adapts.

Adding walking to your routine is an easy way to keep your body moving well as you age.

Feeling unsure after surgery is normal. Many patients worry about hurting themselves or moving the wrong way. Physiotherapy helps build confidence step by step so you can return to daily activities safely.

Your physiotherapist guides you through movements that protect the healing area while strengthening the rest of your body. As you meet small goals, your confidence grows. Tasks that once felt difficult or scary become easier with practice.

Physiotherapy also helps you understand what sensations are normal and when to ask for help. Knowing this reduces fear and makes recovery smoother.

With the right support, patients often find themselves moving better and feeling stronger than they expected. Confidence is part of healing, and physiotherapy helps you get there.
