How Irish weather affects your Joints & Muscles 🌧️
Cold = Stiffness 😰
Cold weather makes muscles tighten and joints feel stiffer
Less blood flow = less flexibility
Damp Air & Aches
High humidity can increase joint sensitivity, especially in people with old injuries or arthritis
Low pressure changes
When air pressure drops (before rain or storms), tissues can expand slightly ➡️ more joint discomfort.
Less movement in winter
We move less in bad weather.
Less movement = more stiffness and slower recovery.
Muscles & injury risk
Cold muscles are more prone to strain if you don’t warm up properly!
What helps
•Gentle movement daily
•Warm layers
•Proper warm-ups
•Staying active, even in winter
Reassurance
Your body isn’t Broken. It’s just responding to its environment.
Living in Ireland means you have to listen to Your body.
Save this for the next cold, wet day ☔️
