🌿 Gut Health & Physiotherapy: More Connected Than You Think!

Did you know your gut plays a powerful role in how well your body heals and responds to rehab?

Your gut microbiome – trillions of bacteria, fungi (yes we have good fungi in our gut) & microbes – isn’t just about digestion. It affects inflammation, brain function, mood, immunity, and even muscle recovery. 🤯

🔥 A balanced microbiome helps regulate inflammation – key for conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and chronic pain.dietician or functional health practitioner for more specialized guidance.

Small daily choices = big recovery gains. Your rehab isn’t just about movement – it’s about your whole body working in sync. Consult a

✨ Just a little reminder...

Take a moment.
Close your eyes.
Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly.
Breathe in deeply through your nose...
Hold...
And exhale slowly through your mouth.

This is your pause.
A check-in with you.
Noticing what your body needs. Honouring where you’re at.
You don’t have to push through — you’re allowed to be.

💛 Deep breathing supports your nervous system, your pelvic floor, and your overall well-being. It starts with a single inhale.

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day
🗓 20 October

Strong bones for life — let’s talk about it.

What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become porous, brittle, and fragile, making them more prone to fractures — more commonly in the spine, hips, and wrists.

It’s often called the “silent disease” because it progresses without symptoms... until a break happens. But the good news? You can take action.

💡 Start by chatting to your healthcare provider about a bone density scan and hormonal assessment.

🌟 How Physiotherapy Helps:
✅ Strength & Resistance Training – carefully prescribed weight-bearing exercise helps build bone density.
✅ Balance & Fall Prevention – improve balance and stability to reduce the risk of fractures.
✅ Posture & Core Work – support your spine and relieve pressure on weakened bones.
✅ Education – we help you understand what’s safe, what’s helpful, and how to move confidently.

Osteoporosis is more common in women over 50, especially during and after menopause — but it’s not just about age.
✨ Movement matters at every stage.

💡 It’s never too early or too late to start strengthening your bones.
Let’s build resilience — from the inside out.

How to Load Your Bones

Strong bones don’t just happen — they’re built by giving your skeleton the right kind of challenge. Think: impact + resistance.

Here are some bone-building moves you can start adding in:
✅ Jumping — small hops, jump rope, or box jumps.
✅ Squats & Step-ups — bodyweight or add weights as you get stronger.
✅ Lunges — forward, backward, or walking lunges with load.
✅ Plyometrics — things like squat jumps or skipping for short bursts.
✅ Resistance training — using dumbbells, kettlebells, or resistance bands.

✨ Bones love variety — changing up angles, loads, and speeds keeps them adapting.
✨ Remember: it’s safe impact + progressive strength that makes the difference.

Strong bones today = freedom of movement tomorrow. 🦴💪

🌀 World Spine Day
🗓 16 October
Your spine isn’t just “your back.” It’s your core communication highway — supporting your structure, protecting your nervous system, and connecting every movement.

But for many of us, spinal issues creep in through:
⚠️ Poor posture (hello, desk jobs & phones)
⚠️ Pregnancy-related strain
⚠️ Accidents or falls
⚠️ Chronic tension and weak core support
⚠️ Disc injuries or degeneration
⚠️ Lack of strength in back muscles

From sharp pain to dull aches, from stiffness to nerve tingling — spinal dysfunctions can show up in many ways, including:
🔹 Herniated or irritated discs
🔹 Sciatica
🔹 Facet joint irritation
🔹 Spinal instability
🔹 Postural dysfunction
🔹 Pregnancy and postpartum related back pain

At Kirsten Venning Physiotherapy, we treat the whole person, not just the spine:
✨ We help you understand the why behind your pain
✨ Use hands-on therapy to release and restore
✨ Rebuild support with core, breath and pelvic floor integration
✨ Teach posture and movement strategies to stay well for life

💡 You only have one spine. Let’s take care of it — together.

Stronger Bones at Every Age
🗓 12–20 October | World Bone & Joint Week

Did you know?
🦴 We build the most bone strength in our 20s and 30s.
🦴 From age 40, women can lose up to 1% of bone density per year (and more after menopause).
🦴 The good news: bone responds to the right kind of loading.

What stimulates bone growth?
✅ Strength training with resistance (weights, bands, bodyweight).
✅ Impact loading (jumping, hopping, step-ups).
✅ Good nutrition (calcium + vitamin D).
✅ Posture, balance + core work to protect bones and prevent falls.

💡 Your skeleton isn’t fixed—it adapts to the stress you put on it.
Strong bones = a strong, independent future.

🧡 World Arthritis Day
🗓 12 October
Arthritis isn’t just joint pain — it’s fatigue, stiffness, and daily challenges.

It can affect anyone, but it's most common in women, especially over 40, and people with autoimmune conditions or joint injuries.

How physiotherapy can help:
✅ Reduce pain through gentle, targeted movement
✅ Improve joint mobility and strength
✅ Teach pacing, posture, and breathwork
✅ Support daily function with confidence

💛 Recovery isn’t about pushing through — it’s about moving smarter.

Whether you're dealing with osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or managing a flare — you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help.

🌍 World Environmental Health Day
🗓 26 September

One of the gifts of living in the Midlands — and in South Africa — is the abundance of wide-open spaces. Rolling hills, fresh air, bird calls, and the stillness of nature are always close by.

Being outside isn’t just a “nice-to-have” — it’s medicine:
✨ Reduces stress + anxiety
✨ Boosts mood + mental clarity
✨ Encourages natural movement + play
✨ Supports overall physical health

But with this privilege comes responsibility. 💚
When we care for our outdoor spaces — from walking trails to riversides — we protect our ability (and future generations’) to enjoy the healing power of nature.

So today, step outside. Breathe deeply. Notice the small things. And remember: your wellbeing and nature’s wellbeing are deeply connected. 🌍

Returning to exercise after childbirth is an exciting step — but it’s essential to take it slow and listen to your body. Here's a guide to help you safely return to movement from week 0 to 12, and beyond!

Key Reminders:
👉Always listen to your body — if something doesn’t feel right, slow down.
👉Be patient with yourself! The journey is just as important as the destination.
👉Work with a physiotherapist to ensure a safe and effective return to exercise.

🌸 Although these timelines exist, they are different for everyone and you should consult with a physio before starting.
