This weather can be difficult for many of my clients…here’s why!

If you've been wondering why your body feels like it's predicting the weather better than our app this week, you're not alone! Right now we're in the thick of the RED in the Aches & Pains Forecast. We've been dealing with fluctuating pressure (sinus headaches and dizziness) combined with multiple cold blasts dropping us into the upper 20s to lower 30s at night. That combo is brutal for arthritis, fibromyalgia, autoimmune flares and deep muscle/joint aches - especially those early mornings when it's hardest to get moving. Yeah, I feel that sometimes, too. 😬

The good news? Pressure starts stabilizing and rising late this week and into early next week, which usually brings noticeable relief for some weather-sensitive people. The worst of the flares should peak Wednesday–Friday mornings, then ease as we head toward Sunday. More Arctic air Monday and Tuesday mornings could bring back some flares, so enjoy the breaks when your body feels better.

If you're hurting today:
😩Extra heating pads & gentle movement.
😌Stay hydrated (cold, dry air dehydrates fast).
🥱Give yourself permission to take it slow.

You're not imagining it - your body IS reacting to the atmosphere. Hang in there!

Dizziness is often labeled as “just anxiety or just stress” — but that’s not always the full picture 🧠💫

Many vestibular symptoms follow clear movement-based patterns:
➡️ turning your head
➡️ rolling in bed
➡️ walking while looking around
➡️ busy or visually overwhelming environments

Yes, anxiety can amplify symptoms 😮‍💨
But that doesn’t mean anxiety caused them.

When dizziness shows up with spinning, rocking, swaying, “head bobbing,” or feeling pulled to one side, your vestibular system deserves to be considered 👂⚖️

Here’s the important part:
Avoiding movement often makes vestibular symptoms stick around longer 🚫
What actually helps is graded, intentional movement, nervous system regulation, and vestibular-specific rehab 🌀✨

Validation matters.
Proper assessment matters.
And you’re not imagining what you’re feeling 💛

Avoiding movements like head turns won’t fix dizziness —
it often makes it stick around longer.

Your vestibular system learns through movement.
The goal isn’t pushing through symptoms,
it’s gradual, intentional exposure that helps your brain recalibrate.

Move slow. Stay moving. Build trust.

Save this if dizziness has made you afraid to move 💛

For bodies affected by MS, dizziness, hypermobility, or chronic pain—
progress doesn’t start with motivation. It starts with regulation.

When your nervous system feels safe:
• balance improves
• coordination improves
• flares decrease
• consistency becomes possible

You don’t need to push harder in January.
You need to start smarter.

Save this as a reminder:
calm first, then move. 🧠✨

Balance challenges in MS aren’t just about weak muscles — and that’s an important shift in how we think about training.

Balance is actually a conversation between your brain and your body. It relies on multiple systems working together:
• Your vision to help orient you in space
• Your vestibular system (inner ear) to detect head movement and speed
• Sensory input from your feet and joints to tell your brain where your body is
• And enough energy to process all of that information

In MS, these signals can be delayed, distorted, or harder to integrate — especially when fatigue sets in. That’s why someone can feel strong but still unsteady, or notice balance is worse at the end of the day.

This is also why balance training needs to be intentional and nervous-system informed, not just “do harder exercises.”
Slowing things down, reducing visual input, changing surfaces, or practicing controlled transitions can be more effective than adding weight or reps.

If balance has felt unpredictable, frustrating, or confusing — you’re not doing anything wrong.
Your nervous system just needs the right kind of practice.

Turning your head isn’t the problem.

For many people with:
• MS
• vestibular disorders
• concussion history
• chronic dizziness

➡️ Speed and surprise matter more than direction.

Your brain needs time to predict movement.
When it can’t, symptoms show up.

That’s not anxiety.
That’s not failure.
That’s your nervous system asking for safety.

Slowing down isn’t giving in — it’s how retraining starts.
