It’s about time to debunk another myth…

Your body has an incredible capacity to recover and physiotherapy can certainly help you get there.

Sure, leaks after childbirth are common. But they’re not forever. Early attention often leads to better, faster recovery and even small, consistent efforts can make a big difference over time.

Everyday movement: ‘Farmer’s Carry’

The Farmer’s Carry is one of the most functional and efficient movements we can train.

Why?

Because it builds a strong link between the hands, shoulders, spine and hips, the same kinetic chain you rely on for nearly every daily task.

If you can carry weight while staying tall, balanced and relaxed, you’re not just building strength, you’re training resilience and movement confidence that carries over to every aspect of life, like carrying the groceries, laundry, luggage or your toddler!

If you only add one functional movement to your routine, make it this one! It's simple, safe, and incredibly effective for building real world strength and posture.

Give the ‘Farmer’s Carry’ a go this week!

Exercise of the week: Side plank with hip dip

Strengthen your core where it counts!

This movement targets the obliques and lateral stabilisers, improving spinal support, shoulder stability and functional strength for everyday movements.

Before you jump into this movement, keep an eye out for these common mistakes we often see:
👉🏻 Keep your core engaged, don’t let your hips sag
👉🏻 Start on your knees - if full side plank is too challenging
👉🏻 Move slowly and controlled to maximise muscle engagement

If you're looking to take this movement further, try adding on one of these progressions
💪🏻 Add a light dumbbell on your top hip for extra resistance
💪🏻 Hold the movement at the top for a few seconds for an isometric challenge

Focus on your form first, then challenge yourself!

Give this movement a go and see the difference!

Exercise of the week: Resistance band rows

Building strength in your upper back plays a key role in balancing the muscles around your shoulders and spine.

Resistance band rows…
✔️ Maintain proper alignment
✔️ Support everyday movement
✔️ Reduce the risk of discomfort caused by poor posture or repetitive strain

Strong posture and shoulder stability help you move more efficiently, reduce muscle fatigue, and protect against common issues like neck pain, shoulder impingement, and tension headaches.

Add this exercise to your routine to build a stronger, healthier upper body!

Good posture isn’t about standing perfectly straight, it’s about balanced movement, body awareness and strength in all the right places.

Small, regular posture resets throughout your day can make a big difference in how your body feels and functions. Posture resets:

🌀Relieve muscle tension
🌀Activate muscles
🌀Reduce mechanical strain on muscles and joints
🌀Improve circulation

If you’re noticing tension, soreness or fatigue from long hours spent stationary, our team at Motion Space can help you improve your posture and movement patterns so you feel stronger and more mobile again.

Healthcare should feel personal, because no two bodies, stories, or goals are the same.

Research shows that personalised physiotherapy improves outcomes by addressing the root cause of pain and building strategies that fit your lifestyle, not just your symptoms.

At Motion Space, we focus on care that goes beyond treatment. We look at your whole story, movement history, goals, and everyday challenges, so your plan is tailored to you.

When care feels personal, it feels empowering. And that’s what makes all the difference.

Lymphatic drainage isn’t just a relaxing massage. It supports your body’s natural recovery.

From reducing swelling after surgery or injury to easing discomfort during breastfeeding, lymphatic drainage helps improve circulation, speed up recovery, and support your body’s natural detox process.

At Motion Space, we use gentle, targeted techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote lasting relief.

Feeling swollen or congested? Lymphatic drainage might be just what you need.
