It finally feels like spring is on the way.

Which usually means the same things start happening again…
🌱 More gardening
🚴 Bikes coming out of the garage
⛳ Golf clubs dusted off
🎾 Tennis rackets reappearing

The problem is our bodies often aren’t quite ready for that sudden jump in activity after a quieter winter.

At this time of year, we tend to see more shoulder and upper-back problems as activity ramps up.

So we’ve put together a short blog with 5 simple exercises to loosen the upper back and shoulders before things get busy.

They take just a few minutes and can help prevent those annoying springtime niggles.

You can read it here:

If you're already dealing with shoulder discomfort and it isn’t settling, our Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Sports Massage therapists are always happy to help.

Improve upper back mobility and prevent shoulder pain this spring. Simple exercises to loosen stiff shoulders before returning to activity.

Back Pain at Work?

It rarely starts dramatically.

More often, it creeps in — stiffness when you stand up, an ache by mid-afternoon, a back that feels fine at the weekend but tight again by Wednesday.

We’ve shared three small changes that can genuinely help — and how to recognise when self-management isn’t enough.

If your back pain at work keeps returning, it’s usually a sign something needs addressing rather than just stretching.

If you’re unsure whether it needs assessing, we also offer a free triage call to help you decide: https://www.midsussexosteopaths.co.uk/make-an-appointment/

Back pain at work is common but it doesn’t have to be. Try these three simple changes to ease stiffness and know when to seek help.

Does your back feel better over Christmas when you were off work but has worsened now you're back at work?

We've heard this a lot over January!

That’s because sitting for long periods can often lead to low back pain but it also maintains and aggravates it.

Common signs include:
• Stiffness after sitting
• Pain when standing up
• Aching that builds through the day
• Discomfort that eases with movement but keeps returning

We’ve written a short blog explaining why desk work affects the lower back, what symptoms to watch for, and what actually helps.

👉 Read the blog here: https://www.midsussexosteopaths.co.uk/why-desk-work-is-one-of-the-biggest-causes-of-low-back-pain/

And if your back pain is lingering or affecting your work or sleep, our Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Sports Massage Therapists are here to help.

Is your body due its January MOT?

January is when many of us return to exercise and start new routines. With these new demands, it’s also the time when the body can start to complain.

Last week in clinic we saw several people who weren’t in pain as such; they just felt that things weren’t quite right: a bit stiff, a bit tight, not moving as freely as they should.

Up in the Dolphin gym, we also spoke to some new members who were full of motivation but already noticing certain areas of their body struggling to keep up with the new demands.

This is exactly where a Body MOT can be really useful. It’s a proper check-in and treatment to identify small issues early and prevent them becoming bigger problems later in the year.

If any of the following sound familiar, now is a great time to book:

• Low-level aches or discomfort
• Feeling stiff or inflexible
• Starting new fitness routines
• It’s been a while since your last treatment

Whether you need Osteopathy, Physiotherapy or Sports Massage, we can help get you moving better and feeling stronger for the year ahead. Starting the year with your body moving well makes everything else easier.
