🧊❄️ Top 5 Physio Tips for Winter! 🧣🧘‍♂️
As the temperature drops, our bodies often feel the chill too — stiff joints, less movement, and more aches and pains.

👉 Follow along this week as we share 5 physiotherapy tips to help you stay active and healthy this winter!

2️⃣ Make Movement Part of Your Routine

🕒 When it’s cold and dark, it’s easy to skip exercise — but consistency is key for healthy joints and muscles!

💡 Tip: Schedule movement like a meeting. Even 10–15 minutes daily can improve mobility, boost mood, and reduce winter stiffness.

🏠 Try:

Morning stretches while the kettle boils

Lunchtime walks around the office or house

Evening mobility exercises while watching TV

📅 Small, regular movement = big long-term results!

Need help creating a winter-friendly routine? Your physiotherapist can help you build one that fits your lifestyle.

💥 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💥

❌ Myth: “Physiotherapy is just massage and exercise.”
✅ Fact: Physiotherapy is so much more! 🙌

Physios are movement and health professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions — from sports injuries and chronic pain to neurological, respiratory, paediatrics, and pelvic health issues.

💡 Think: rehabilitation, prevention, education, hands-on techniques, and personalised care — all rolled into one profession!

🧍‍♂️ PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧍‍♀️

❌ Myth: “Good posture means sitting up straight all the time.”
✅ Fact: The best posture is your next posture! 🔄

Holding any position for too long — even a “perfect” one — can cause discomfort. Physiotherapists recommend frequent movement and posture variation to keep your body happy and pain-free.

So yes, sit tall — but also shift, stretch, and stand often! 🪑➡️🧍‍♀️➡️🧘‍♂️

🌿 Wellness Wednesday 🌿
Self-Care Tips from Your Physiotherapist 💚

Taking care of your body = taking care of your mind. Here is a simple physio-approved self-care tip to keep you moving and feeling your best:

💧 Hydrate often: Muscles and joints love water! Staying hydrated helps reduce fatigue and supports recovery.

✨ Your body does so much for you — treat it kindly!

💡 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💡

❌ Myth: "If you have back pain, you should rest and avoid movement."

✅ Fact: Movement is medicine! 🚶‍♂️💪 Gentle activity and targeted exercises can actually help reduce pain and speed up recovery. Complete rest can sometimes make things worse by causing stiffness and weakness. If in doubt, consult a physio!

A Journey Towards All-Encompassing Well-Being

In a career spanning over 30 years, there are a number of milestones and turning points that paved the way to my current place as a Physiotherapist with a multi-disciplinary approach to women’s health and pain management.

That timeline looks like this:

1987: Graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor's Degree in Physiotherapy and worked for 1 year at Groote Schuur Hospital, gaining experience in cardiac rehabilitation, trauma and hand clinic treatments

1989: Relocated to Port Elizabeth and gained experience in private and public sector hospitals
