☁️ Winter Is Coming – And So Is Vitamin D Deficiency ☁️

As daylight hours drop and we spend more time indoors, vitamin D levels naturally decline — especially here in the UK.

Low vitamin D can contribute to:
⚡ Muscle weakness and fatigue
🦴 Poor bone and joint health
💤 Reduced energy and slower recovery
🩹 Increased risk of injury

For most adults, the NHS recommends supplementing with 10 micrograms (400 IU) daily through the autumn and winter months (October–March).

You can support your body by:
🌤 Taking a quality vitamin D3 supplement
🍳 Including oily fish, eggs, and fortified foods in your diet
🏃‍♀️ Keeping active and getting outdoors whenever possible

As physios, we often see how low vitamin D impacts muscle function and recovery — small changes now can make a big difference over winter.

💬 If you’re unsure what’s right for you, chat with a healthcare professional before starting supplements.

Sitting for hours? Try this quick desk reset:

•Chin tucks (10 reps)
• Shoulder blade squeezes (10 reps)
• Seated spinal rotations (10 reps/side)

It takes 2.5 minutes but can prevent tension headaches, upper back pain, and fatigue.

🎯 Physiotherapy isn’t just for injury — it’s for prevention.

🏉 Women’s Rugby Final 🏉

The final isn’t just a test of skill – it’s a test of preparation, resilience, and recovery. Rugby places huge physical demands on the body, and physiotherapy is central to keeping athletes performing at their best.

At VCF, we support all athletes in managing injuries, building strength, and sustaining performance – the same principles on display in this weekend’s game.

Another great in service training session with the team this week on how to get our paediatric patients back to sport post injury 😀

The training session included advice on how to gradually increase non-contact training prior to return to sport and when to get patients back to sport with the use of outcome measures to test if our patients are ready!

Looking forward to applying these principles to our paediatric and adult patients 🙌

TMJ pain (temporomandibular joint pain) is a painful condition affecting the movement of the jaw.

It can be caused by overuse, muscular tension, teeth grinding, jaw injuries and arthritis.

Common symptoms may include jaw pain and clicking, facial and eye pain and headaches.

Physiotherapy can be beneficial in reducing the symptoms of TMJ pain or dysfunction.
We can use a variety of manual therapy techniques along with appropriate prescribing of exercises and advice.

If you believe you have symptoms of TMJ pain or any another condition you would like to discuss and book an assessment for please contact us on:
