We hear this a lot in January.

“I’ve always gone hard when I get back into it.”
“I don’t want to lose momentum.”
“I’ll just push through and see how it goes.”

And sometimes… you get away with it.

Until you don’t.

Your body doesn’t remember what you used to do.
It responds to what you’ve done recently.

So if December was quieter (and for most people it was), your joints and tendons are starting from there.
Not from last summer.
Not from your best-ever fitness.

Another common one:
“I don’t want to overthink it.”

Fair.
But dealing with a knee, achilles or back issue for the next 6–8 weeks is a lot more thinking than easing in now.

This isn’t about being cautious or soft.
It’s about staying active long enough for it to actually work.

If you’re on the fence about whether to keep pushing or pull things back slightly… that hesitation is worth listening to.

If you’re Bristol-based and unsure what’s sensible for your body, send us a message.

Better to check early than be forced to stop later.

Don’t go from zero to five sessions a week.

We see this every single January in the clinic.
Same story. Different body.

“I used to do this years ago.”
“I’ll just push through it.”
“It’ll loosen up.”

Sometimes it does.
Sometimes it really doesn’t.

Your tendons, joints and nervous system need time to catch up.
Your motivation has sprinted ahead.
Your tissues haven’t.

Especially if you’re:
• Getting back into running
• Returning to the gym after a break
• Playing sport again after Christmas
• Sitting at a desk all week then going hard at weekends

If something’s been niggling since you restarted… don’t ignore it.

Small tweaks now save big problems later.

If you’re Bristol-based and unsure whether something’s “normal soreness” or something to deal with, we’re happy to help.

Comment START and I’ll point you in the right direction.

There’s something about January that makes people think everything resets.

But your body doesn’t know it’s the 1st of January. It just knows how it feels.

If you’ve spent December stressed, rushed, sitting more, sleeping less, that tension doesn’t just disappear overnight.

It carries over.
Into your neck.
Your back.
Your energy levels.

That’s why so many people start the year already feeling behind.

Listening to your body now, instead of pushing through, makes a bigger difference than most people realise.

There’s a moment I always notice after a session.
And it’s not dramatic.

Someone gets off the couch.

They pause.
They roll a shoulder.
Maybe test a movement they’ve been avoiding.

Then there’s usually a breath out.

That moment matters.

❤️‍🩹Because it’s not just about muscles relaxing — it’s the body realising it doesn’t need to guard anymore.

Especially at this time of year, people carry a lot without realising it.

Stress. Tension. Fatigue.
It all settles somewhere.

Seeing that small shift, that bit of ease return, never gets old. 💜💜

Desk-based work takes its toll.

🕜 Long hours.
💻 Laptop hunch.
😞 Shoulders creeping up without you noticing.

So feedback like this really matters.

When someone stands up after a session and their posture has visibly changed, that’s not luck.

✅ That’s tension letting go.
✅ That’s the body finally getting some space again.

This client walked in carrying a lot through the shoulders. They walked out standing taller and moving more freely.

And that’s always the goal, helping people feel more comfortable, confident, and like themselves again in their own body.

If your desk setup is starting to show up in your neck or shoulders, it might be time to do something about it.

Message us ‘INFO’ if you need help easing your neck and shoulders

❗Don’t ignore pain just because you can still
function❗

Pain isn’t normal.
It’s common, but not normal.

And just because you can still get through your day doesn’t mean you should have to.

So many people I see in clinic say, “It’s not that bad, I can still walk, still work…”

😞 But pain has a way of wearing you down quietly.
😡 It affects your mood, your energy, how you move, even how you sleep 😴

By the time you notice how much it’s changed you, it’s usually been there for months.

⚠ You wouldn’t ignore a warning light on your dashboard and hope it sorts itself

❤️‍🩹 Your body deserves the same care.

What’s one ache or ni**le you’ve been ignoring lately?
