Some fantastic information on the power of CV exercise on brain/cognitive health from a 44 year long study of Swedish women is pretty compelling!! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29540588/

The "Midlife Cardiovascular Fitness and Dementia" study showed that women with high cardiovascular fitness in midlife correlated with an 88% lower risk of dementia later in life!

Following 1462 Swedish women of various ages for over 44 years showed that there was a significant delay in Dementia onset, with high fitness women developing dementia 9.5 years later and had on average an extra 5 dementia free years compared to medium fitness women!

Even more reason to GET MOVING!

I know it might sound crazy, but your feet and footwear can have a massive effect on your Pelvic Floor and back pain - after all, everything is connected right! The knee bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the hip bone...
A couple of case studies to start us off...
Client A: radiating pain in the buttock and muscular nerve pain in back of the leg. Client also had slight footdrop. We worked together on strengthening her ankle, relaxing muscles in her feet as well as an over all strengthening and back mobility regime. Pain subsided.
Client B: Was suffering a lot of lower back pain from walking and basic movements in the gym. After a bit of a chat, we narrowed the start of the pain down to the purchase of a new pair of trainers. We worked on relaxing the foot muscles, swapped shoes and pain went...
What's the connection.... Your feet have a number of joints, bones, ligaments and nerves. Every step you take effects the position of your knee, pelvis and so forth. In the case of my foot drop client, the stiff foot muscles were causing a pull effect on the pelvic muscles and glutes and resulted in pain. The new shoes for client B had built in arches that were putting pressure on her feet and resulted in a different gait and subsequently back pain.
Whats the take away - look after your feet. And here is a free tip - get a little spiky ball and roll it under your feet. They'll thank you for it!

Its not secret that once women hit menopause all our hormones start going crazy and effecting loads of our bodies functions. One of the major ones that we see is a shift in Estrogen. Here is some information about how this effects our bones.... Remember also, that bone density in women generally peaks around age 30 and then starts declining around 40/45, with a rapid decrease once menopause starts. While bone loss happens in both men and women and is a natural part of aging.... women experience a far more significant drop due to the loss of estrogen. Which is why maintaining bone strength is incredible important.

Decreased Calcium Absorption - Estrogen is one of the hormones that helps regulate calcium in the body, and calcium as you might well know, is important for building and maintaining bone density. As Estrogen levels decline, the body is not as efficient at absorbing calcium which leads to lower bone density.

Increased Bone Resorption - Estrogen also helps regulate osteoclasts activity. These are cells that break down bone tissue. When Estrogen levels are too low, osteoclast activity increases, leading to increased bone tissue getting broken down.

Reduced Bone Formation - Estrogen also helps in stimulate osteoblasts. These are cells that build new bone tissue. When Estrogen levels decrease, so does the activity of osteoblasts, and therefore you have less bone formation.
