✨ Back pain isn’t just a “tight muscle” problem — it’s a movement problem. ✨

Massage can feel amazing (and yes, it absolutely has its place!), but long-term change comes from active rehabilitation.

If your back keeps “going out,” feeling stiff, or flaring up when you sit, bend, or lift, your body is telling you something.

It doesn’t need more poking and prodding — it needs strength, control, and confidence in movement.

🏋🏻‍♀️ Active rehab helps you:
• Build resilience in the spine and surrounding muscles
• Restore healthy movement patterns
• Reduce fear of bending and lifting
• Prevent repeated flare-ups
• Get back to doing the things you love, without worrying your back will complain every time

🟡 Massage = great for short-term symptom relief.
🟢 Active rehab = great for long-term change.

Your back is strong, adaptable, and designed to move.

Let’s train it that way. 💪✨

If you’re not sure where to start, pop us a message, we are here to guide you every step of the way with bespoke rehabilitation programs. Designed for you.

💡 Understanding Musculoskeletal Syndrome in Menopause

As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, many women experience what’s now recognised as menopausal musculoskeletal syndrome — a combination of joint pain, muscle stiffness, reduced flexibility, and loss of strength that affects daily movement and quality of life.

🔍 Why it happens

Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of muscles, joints, and connective tissues. When levels fall:
• Joint cartilage becomes thinner and less hydrated → increasing stiffness and wear.
• Muscle mass and strength decline faster → known as sarcopenia.
• Tendon elasticity and ligament support reduce → leading to higher injury risk.
• Bone density decreases → raising the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis.
• Inflammatory responses in joints and soft tissue can increase → contributing to pain and swelling.

These changes can manifest as:
• Generalised aches and stiffness (especially in the morning)
• Shoulder, neck, knee, hip, and hand pain
• Low back pain or sciatica-type symptoms
• Fatigue, poor posture, or reduced balance
• Reduced confidence in movement or exercise

How physiotherapy helps

Physiotherapy plays a key role in preventing and managing these symptoms.
A tailored plan may include:
• Targeted strengthening to maintain muscle mass and joint support
• Postural correction and mobility work to ease stiffness
• Manual therapy to reduce pain and restore joint movement
• Bone health advice – including safe resistance and weight-bearing exercise
• Education and movement confidence – supporting an active, pain-free lifestyle

💬 Key message

Menopause is a natural transition, but musculoskeletal discomfort doesn’t have to be accepted as “normal.” With the right physiotherapy, women can maintain strength, mobility, and comfort well into midlife and beyond.

🌍 It’s World Arthritis Day! 💙
At Anna Curnow Physiotherapy, we’re raising awareness about arthritis — and how physio can help you move better, feel stronger, and stay independent.

🦴 Arthritis isn’t just one condition — there are 100+ types, but some common ones include:
✨ Osteoarthritis – wear and tear of cartilage
🔥 Rheumatoid Arthritis – autoimmune inflammation
💅 Psoriatic Arthritis – linked to psoriasis
💥 Gout – uric acid crystal buildup
🧘‍♀️ Ankylosing Spondylitis – affects the spine and hips

💪 How physio helps (and the research backs it!):
✔️ Builds muscle support to protect joints
✔️ Improves mobility, balance & function
✔️ Reduces pain and stiffness
✔️ Teaches safe movement & self-management strategies
✔️ Boosts confidence to stay active

Regular, tailored exercise has been shown to reduce pain and improve quality of life — even in inflammatory types like RA (Cochrane Review, 2021). 🙌

You don’t have to “just live with it.” Early, personalised physio can help you move with less pain and more freedom.

💙 Let’s celebrate what your body can do — and keep it moving!

🧡 World Arthritis Day – 12 October 🧡

Arthritis isn’t just for “old knees” — it’s a whole group of conditions that can affect anyone, at any age. The good news? You can still move well — and physio can help.

💪 Osteoarthritis – We use simple, low-impact exercises to keep you strong and joints moving. Mobilisations and stretches help ease that morning stiffness.

🔥 Rheumatoid & other inflammatory types – When things flare up, we focus on gentle movement and pacing. When it’s calmer, we build strength and stamina so you can do more of the things you love.

🧩 Psoriatic, gout, post-injury… – Whatever the type, we’ll tailor a plan around your symptoms and your day-to-day life.

✨ The bottom line: staying active (in the right way) is one of the best things you can do for arthritis. And you don’t have to figure it out alone — that’s what we’re here for.
