Keep Charging at and beyond 60 ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ
As we keep spinning around the sun ๐ŸŒ, our bodies change โ€” and thatโ€™s okay. Here are some quick tips you can start using today to stay strong, mobile and confident:
๐Ÿ”ฅ Warm up properly
As we age, we naturally hold less water in our tissues. A good warm-up helps lubricate your joints with synovial fluid and gets everything moving smoothly.
๐Ÿ“† Consistency > Boom & Bust
Skip the all-or-nothing workouts. Focus on good form, technique and steady progress. And remember โ€” itโ€™s your workout. Need a break? Take it.
๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Strength Training is Essential
From 30โ€“40 onwards, we can lose up to 8% of muscle mass per decade โ€” a process called sarcopenia.
Muscle helps:
โœ… Reduce falls risk
โœ… Support and cushion joints
โœ… Improve blood sugar control
โœ… Promote immunity
๐Ÿ‘‰ Aim to lift weights 3x per week
๐ŸฆตBalance = Brain Training
Standing on one leg might seem simple, but itโ€™s powerful. It trains balance, mobility, strength and even supports healthy brain ageing ๐Ÿง โœจ

And if you need help reaching your goals, reach out โ€” weโ€™re here for you. Get an informed clinical opinion here at Peak MSK Physio. We run GLA:D classes for Osteoarthritis, Bone strength exercise classes, Pilates and can provide specific tailored programmes.

๐Ÿ”ŠStruggling with tinnitus? Physiotherapy might help.

Tinnitus โ€” that persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears โ€” affects millions and can interfere with daily life, sleep and concentration. Itโ€™s not โ€œjust in your headโ€ โ€” itโ€™s a real neurological and sensory experience. ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ’ก

While traditional care from GPs and audiologists is essential, physiotherapy is emerging as a valuable part of the solution, especially for somatic tinnitus โ€” a type linked to muscles, joints and nerves in the neck and jaw. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿค

Hereโ€™s how physio can help:
โœ… Assess neck posture and cervical mobility
โœ… Address TMJ and muscle tension
โœ…Use manual therapy + customised exercises
โœ…Apply neural tapping techniques to retrain the brainโ€™s response
These approaches aim to reduce musculoskeletal contributors that can influence tinnitus symptoms and improve quality of life.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This tinnitus awareness week, talk to our experienced clinicians to see if physiotherapy could be part of your tinnitus management strategy.

๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธDid you know that Clinical Pilates can be used in multiple ways for back pain? ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ
โ 
There are different approaches to Clinical Pilates, which is a great way to rehabilitate and recondition, but deciding which route to take as a patient without clinical guidance can be difficult. Thatโ€™s where an informed clinical opinion helps! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ
That's with us folks, your movement partners!โ  ๐Ÿคฉ
โ 
At Peak MSK, we start all patients with an initial assessment, where we test your structure, analyse your movement, weaknesses, and strengths. ๐Ÿ’ช
From here, we chart your pathway forward. You might need specific exercises with tailored loading, or you might be someone who needs to train coordination and movement patterns. For most, it is a combination of both, but we'll decide that from your assessment findings. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’ช
โ 
If youโ€™re stuck with back pain and not sure how to move forward, give the clinic a call, and we can schedule a time for your initial assessment. It can be daunting trying something new, but if what you're doing isn't working, we are here to get your mojo back. ๐ŸŒˆ

Do you have muscle or joint pains, and you want an x-ray or scan to find that tear, bulge, crack, fissure, or split and then get it fixed? Well hereโ€™s why you might want to put a pause on that! ๐Ÿšซโ 
โ 
Did you know that if you were to grab a bunch of adults off the street with no history of problems you would find:โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‘‰๏ธUp to 87% of people aged 20-70 have bulging discs ๐Ÿ“Š
โ 
๐Ÿ‘‰๏ธ96% of men aged 40-70 had abnormalities on imaging ๐Ÿ‘ฆโ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‘‰๏ธAbout half of those who experience osteoarthritis pain have no visible changed on imaging ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ‘ตโ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‘‰๏ธAsymptomatic people also have findings on imaging ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
โ 
Jumping to scans to search out the cure will lead to being fixated on false-positive findings, or non-issues. There is also unnecessary exposure to radiation. The overuse of imaging risks your recovery by making your issue more complicated than it needs be.โ 
โ 
Seeing your physio for an informed physical assessment is a great first step when you are experiencing pain. Often you can get a diagnosis confirmed by a thorough hands-on examination. Should our examination suggest a need for imaging, the information we have will determine the kind of imaging and views we ask from the radiology clinic. So you donโ€™t need to worry about getting that MRI or X-Ray, unless your health professional deems it necessary. ๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿฉบโ
