Pain is the body’s natural response to the presence of danger, such as an injury.

So when should you get help with pain?

Pain is perceived in different ways, impacting our muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments or nerves. Pain could be sharp, achy, shooting, burning or perhaps even felt as pins, needles or numbness. If you've suffered an injury, or you're worried about your aches and pains, it might be time to consider a physiotherapy consultation.

Listen to your body and prioritise your health. Consider scheduling an appointment with your local Back In Motion today!

Tailoring Workouts to Your
Fitness Level

Beginner Level:
Start with basic bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks to build foundational strength. Gradually add resistance bands or small weights. Focus on mastering proper form to prevent injuries and prepare for future progress.

Intermediate Level:
Incorporate a mix of bodyweight and resistance training, such as deadlifts, bench presses, and overhead presses. Add cardiovascular exercises like running or cycling to improve endurance. Gradually increase weights and intensity for continued progression.

Advanced Level:
Focus on fine-tuning strength and addressing weaknesses. Use periodisation to alternate between high intensity and recovery phases. Include advanced techniques like plyometrics, agility drills, and sport-specific exercises. Ensure proper recovery with adequate rest and mobility work.

Happy Birthday, Faye! 🎉🎂 Your dedication and positivity inspire us all. Here's to a fantastic year ahead! Cheers! 🥂💪

Managing diabetes is crucial for your overall health, including your joints! High blood sugar levels can affect your joints, leading to pain
and stiffness. Stay active, eat a balanced diet,and keep your blood sugar in check to protect your joint health.

Falls can lead to serious injuries, especially for older adults. Here are some expert tips from physiotherapists to help keep you safe and steady on your feet:

1. Stay Active: Regular exercise improves strength, balance, and coordination. Try activities like walking, swimming, or Tai Chi.

2. Strength Training: Focus on strengthening your legs and core muscles. Simple exercises like squats, leg lifts, and seated marches can be very effective.

3. Balance Exercises: Practice balance exercises daily. Stand on one foot, heel-to-toe walk, or use a balance board to improve stability.

4. Proper Footwear: Wear well-fitted, non-slip shoes both indoors and outdoors. Avoid walking in socks or slippers that can increase the risk of slipping.

5. Know Your Limits: Don't rush or take risks that could lead to a fall. Move at a comfortable pace and ask for help when needed.

Remember, preventing falls is a proactive process. Stay safe and take these steps to maintain your independence and quality of life! 💪
