🦴 Osteoporosis Awareness 🦴

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures—even from minor falls. It’s especially common in women, with up to 1 in 3 affected, often due to hormonal changes after menopause.

Know your risk factors:
✔️ Female
✔️ Over 40 / postmenopausal
✔️ Family history
✔️ Low activity levels
✔️ Smoking or excess alcohol
✔️ Low calcium intake

Early detection is key. A simple DEXA scan can identify reduced bone density before fractures occur.

What can you do? 💪 Stay active with regular exercise

🥛 Ensure adequate calcium & Vitamin D
🚭 Stop smoking & limit alcohol
🩺 Seek professional advice if at risk

At Tyrrell Physiotherapy we can help you stay strong, mobile, and independent with physiotherapy and tailored care.

An estimated 80% of the population will suffer from lower back pain at some point. The good news is that preventing it is a lot easier than treating it

✨💻 Working From Home? We’ve Got Your Back (Literally!) 💻✨

With so many of us spending long hours at our desks at home, proper ergonomics has never been more important.

Recent guidance on home office ergonomics shows that small changes to your workspace — like adjusting your chair height, positioning your monitor correctly, and improving your sitting posture — can make a big difference to your comfort and long-term musculoskeletal health.

Good ergonomic setup can help prevent:
✔️ Neck and shoulder tension
✔️ Lower back pain
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Repetitive strain injuries
✔️ Wrist and elbow discomfort

At Tyrrell Physiotherapy, we offer support for patients working from home, including:

🪑 Personalised ergonomic assessments tailored to your home setup

👩‍⚕️ Posture education — learn how to sit, stand and move correctly

📏 Workstation adjustment advice (monitor height, keyboard & mouse positioning, chair setup)

🏃‍♀️ Movement and break strategies to reduce stiffness and fatigue

Whether you're working from a home office, kitchen table, or spare room — we can help you stay comfortable, productive and pain-free.
