🌷Spring is here…and so is gardening season 🌿
After months indoors, it’s tempting to tackle everything at once… but sudden bursts of digging, lifting and pruning can quickly lead to aches and injuries. Each year we see a spike in gardening-related pain at this time.
The most common problems include:
🌿 Shoulder strains: especially when starting stiff equipment like lawnmowers or doing heavy pruning
🌿 Elbow and wrist pain: repetitive tasks such as weeding or trimming can irritate tendons
🌿 Low back pain & sciatica: digging and bending for long periods puts significant strain on the spine
🌿 Knee pain: prolonged kneeling can aggravate already sensitive joints
🌿 Neck problems: overhead work like hanging baskets or pruning trees can trigger stiffness and pain
We want you to enjoy your garden this spring… without the pain 🌼
If aches persist after gardening, early treatment can help prevent a minor strain becoming a longer-term issue.
Have you started your garden yet this year?

Today is World Parkinson's Day, a chance for us to promote valuable information about the disease and its significant impact on over 150,000 in the UK alone.

Below, you can read an article about Becky Rowley, our very own Parkinson Pro Instructor, an accreditation that gives coaches a professional qualification to more effectively support people living with Parkinson's. Becky utilises our AOR scheme to work with those with Parkinsons to adapt exercise programmes to meet their needs and help them stay active.

Through our Activity On Referral scheme, Becky provides sedentary individuals with a positive introduction to being physically active. This 12 week introductory exercise programme enables individuals to maintain a physically active lifestyle with a view to improving both their physical and mental well being. The scheme is aimed at adults over the age of 16, who are considered to be inactive and have one or more medical conditions that would benefit from a programme of exercise.
