Our Lifestyle Tip of the Month: Move, Move & Move Some More!

We all know movement is good for us – whether you’re hitting the gym or pottering around the garden you feel the benefits! But why?

Movement gets your blood pumping and your heart thumping 💃

🏃‍♂️ Regular physical activity strengthens your heart, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, which means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your muscles and organs.

🏃‍♂️ Moving those limbs and breaking a sweat releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins. These little wonders can lift your mood, reduce stress, and even help manage anxiety and depression. It's like a natural happiness potion!

🏃‍♂️ And guess what? Movement isn't just good for your muscles and mind - it also keeps your bones strong 🦴. When you engage in activities like weightlifting, dancing, or even a simple stroll, you're helping to your body maintain healthy bone density. It's like giving your body a solid foundation to thrive on!

🏃‍♂️ And it’s good for the brain 🧠 too – improving memory and cognition through supporting the growth of new brain cells!

So, whether you're hitting the gym, dancing like nobody's watching, or getting into the garden for some weeding you are doing yourself a world of good!

And if aches and pains are holding you back from moving the way you want call us to make an appointment with one of the osteopaths at Radius. We’re always here to help.

What is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial osteopaths sense the rhythmic movement of fluids in our tissues and its relationship to the whole body. When the body sustains an injury, these fluids can become imbalanced and can be treated using subtle hand pressure to release any strain patterns. Cranial osteopathy is suitable for all ages, in particular babies and children
