Cold weather can make knee stiffness feel worse, especially first thing in the morning. Try warming up with seated leg extensions, heel slides, or slow marching in place.

These gentle movements boost circulation and help lubricate your knee joints without pressure. Many patients tell us these simple exercises make a huge difference in how they feel throughout the day.

If knee stiffness is slowing you down, Hands on Physiotherapy can help with personalised tips and support. Winter doesn’t have to hold you back 💪

If winter stiffness is holding you back, try adding these into your daily routine:
✔ Gentle morning stretches
✔ A warm shower before activity
✔ Indoor warm-ups before going outside
✔ Staying hydrated (even when you don’t feel thirsty)
✔ Light movement every 1–2 hours

These habits help keep joints lubricated and muscles warm, reducing the tight, achy feeling many experience in cold weather.

Many winter sport injuries are linked to fatigue, limited mobility, or lack of strength - not bad luck! ❄️

Preparing your body helps it handle the demands of snow sports more effectively. Strength, balance, and mobility training support safer movement and better control.
Preparation doesn’t guarantee perfection - but it stacks the odds in your favour.

If you need help with avoiding winter sport injuries, or recovering from one, then we're here to help! Get in touch with our team of physiotherapists to see how they can help you.

Winter doesn’t have to put your fitness routine on pause. Cold weather can make your muscles feel tighter and your energy dip, but consistent movement keeps your joints mobile, your circulation strong, and your mood lifted. Try shorter workouts, indoor warm-ups, or brisk outdoor walks. Small, steady efforts make all the difference when daylight is limited.
At Hands On Physiotherapy Ltd, we help people stay active and injury-free all winter with personalised plans that make movement feel doable.

I cannot recommend Tesni highly enough. I was in a lot of pain after a sprained ankle & niggling tennis elbow, I also have chronic migraines. Tesni’s holistic approach has helped me to get back to my favourite exercise routines & given me significant pain reduction. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring physiotherapist, look no further!

Myth vs Fact - Winter edition!

❌ Myth: Discomfort during colder months is just something to live with

✅ Fact: While seasonal joint stiffness is common, many find that regular, gentle movement and supportive routines can make a meaningful difference. Strategies like having regular deep tissue massages, guided mobility work, staying warm, and taking movement breaks may help improve comfort and keep joints feeling more at ease.

Winter doesn’t have to mean staying still. Small, consistent habits can help support better mobility all season long.
