LOWER BACK PAIN ON YOUR RUN?
DON'T JUST RUN THROUGH IT.
You set off feeling great.
A few kilometres in, you notice a little twinge in your lower back.
Nothing dramatic. You shorten your stride, ease off a little and carry on.
But later that evening — or the following morning — certain movements suddenly remind you that something isn't quite right.
So what should you do?
First, pain doesn't automatically mean you've seriously damaged something. But it's also information worth listening to.
Lower-back pain during or after running can have many possible contributors. The area where you feel the discomfort may not tell us the whole story.
Your hips, pelvis, glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, spinal mobility, running load, previous injuries and even a recent change in training can all be part of the picture.
That's why simply stretching the sore bit — or repeatedly trying to "run it off" — isn't always the answer.
A useful assessment asks:
What changed?
What movements provoke it?
What movements don't?
How are the surrounding joints and tissues moving and loading?
And what does your body need to get comfortably moving again?
If something starts hurting during a run, easing off rather than pushing harder is usually a sensible first response.
And if the discomfort persists, worsens, keeps returning or is affecting your normal movement, it's worth getting it assessed rather than guessing which muscle needs stretching.
Pain tells you where something hurts.
A good assessment helps investigate why.
At Costa Med Osteopaths, we look beyond the sore spot to understand the bigger movement picture — so we can help you get better and get moving again.

Rest Isn't Being Lazy... It's Part of the Plan.

We're constantly surrounded by messages telling us to do more.

Train harder.
Push through.
Stay disciplined.
Never miss a workout.

Movement is incredibly important.

But so is recovery.

Your body doesn't become stronger during exercise.
Exercise provides the challenge.
Recovery is when your body repairs, adapts and becomes more resilient.

Without enough quality rest, that process simply can't happen as well as it should.

Good recovery supports:
• Better energy levels
• Stronger immune function
• Healthier joints and muscles
• Improved hormone balance
• Better sleep
• Sharper concentration
• Greater resilience to stress

Rest isn't always lying on the sofa doing nothing.

Sometimes it's an afternoon nap.
Sometimes it's a weekend getaway to a beautiful city.
Reading a good book.
Listening to music.
Gardening.
Sharing a meal with people you love.
Sitting quietly with a cup of tea.

Real recovery is anything that genuinely leaves your body and mind feeling restored rather than more depleted.

Ironically, many people work incredibly hard in the pursuit of health while forgetting the very thing that allows the body to become healthier.

At Costa Med Osteopaths, Sonja and I make time to recharge our own batteries too.

Not because we're avoiding work.

Because we want to give our patients the very best version of ourselves.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do today isn't to push a little harder...

It's to recover a little better.

Recognise this?
If Your Shoulder Hurts... Stop Windmilling It for a Moment! 😂

Spend five minutes in almost any gym and you'll probably see it.

Someone finishes a set of presses, pulls or raises...

Then immediately starts rotating their arm around like a helicopter blade while pulling a face that suggests their shoulder isn't particularly happy.

The assumption seems to be:
"Maybe if I keep moving it around, the pain will disappear."

Unfortunately, painful shoulders don't usually work that way.

Muscles can work hard.
Muscles can feel tired.
Muscles can even burn during exercise.

But joints should not be painful.

Pain is information. It's your body's way of saying:
"Something isn't quite right here."

Shoulder pain can come from many different causes:
• Poor movement patterns
• Muscle imbalances
• Rotator cuff irritation
• Joint restrictions
• Postural issues
• Previous injuries
• Training errors

Simply pushing through the pain or repeatedly circling the arm rarely addresses the actual cause.

A good rule of thumb:

✅ Work within a comfortable, pain-free range.
✅ Focus on good alignment and technique.
✅ Respect what your body is telling you.
✅ Seek professional advice if pain persists.

❌ Don't assume pain is normal.
❌ Don't force movements that hurt.
❌ Don't keep adding weight while hoping the pain will magically disappear.

Exercise should make you stronger.

If your shoulder is forcing you to stop because of pain, it may be time to find out why rather than trying to push through it.

The Information Age: A Blessing... and Sometimes a Challenge
We live in an incredible time.
With a few taps on a phone, we can learn about nutrition, exercise, supplements, health conditions, rehabilitation techniques, and the latest scientific discoveries from anywhere in the world.
AI, podcasts, YouTube channels, blogs, fitness influencers, health gurus and social media creators have made information more accessible than ever before.
And that's a wonderful thing.
However, information and personal healthcare are not the same thing. Even more so, "information" is not the same as "understanding".

We all recognise these days that the internet can give us information.
AI can give us information.
Instagram can give us information.
A YouTube fitness guru can give us information.
But none of them have examined your foot, looked at your blood tests, understood your stress levels, reviewed your medications, considered your kidney function, assessed your sleep quality, or explored what is happening in your life.
That's where qualified, healthcare professionals come in.
We say... "Use information to become curious, not to become certain."

Here's a perfect example... Recently, a patient visited our clinic seeking treatment for what she believed was plantar fasciitis. When we carried out a full assessment, it became clear that the problem wasn't plantar fasciitis at all. Fortunately, this meant she could receive the correct treatment for the actual cause of her pain.
It's a reminder of something we see regularly in practice:
Your body is unique.
Two people can have similar symptoms but completely different underlying causes.
The same applies to nutrition and supplementation.
A supplement, diet, exercise programme or recovery strategy that works brilliantly for one person may be completely inappropriate for another.
Why?
Because every person brings their own unique combination of:
• Health history
• Stress levels
• Sleep quality
• Activity levels
• Hormonal influences
• Medication use
• Digestive function
• Recovery capacity
• Kidney and liver function
• Lifestyle demands
Your body is not simply a collection of symptoms. It is a complex system where everything interacts with everything else.
Sometimes more protein isn't the answer.
Sometimes another supplement isn't the answer.
Sometimes the issue isn't a nutritional deficiency at all.
Sometimes the body needs rest, recovery, movement, stress management, better sleep, or a different approach entirely.
This is why personalised assessment matters.
At Costa Med Osteopaths, we encourage patients to stay curious, ask questions, be proactive, read widely and take an active interest in their health.
But we also encourage something equally important:
Know yourself.
The ancient Greeks had a phrase inscribed at the Temple of Delphi:
"Know thyself."
In healthcare, those words remain just as relevant today.
The goal isn't to blindly follow every new trend, diagnosis, supplement or protocol.
The goal is to understand what your body needs, at this moment, in your unique circumstances.
Because the best health plan is not the one that works for everyone.
It's the one that works for you.

The challenge is no longer finding more information. The challenge is understanding which information applies to you.

☀️🏃‍♂️ The sunshine comes back… and suddenly so does your motivation! 🏃‍♀️☀️
After months of moving less through winter and spring, many people suddenly feel inspired to get active again…
You go for that run.
That long walk.
That fitness class.
That “I used to do this easily” moment…
…and then your body replies with:
😩 “Excuse me… what exactly are we doing here?”
Knee pain.
Tight hips.
Achy feet.
Sore backs.
Stiff ankles.
All the joints and muscles that felt perfectly fine during everyday life suddenly remind you that fitness, flexibility and impact tolerance don’t simply “wait patiently” while we take a few months off. 😂
And honestly? That’s completely normal.
This isn’t failure.
It’s usually a combination of:
✔️ enthusiastic minds
✔️ undertrained tissues
✔️ reduced mobility
✔️ lost conditioning
✔️ bodies being asked to perform at last year’s level too quickly
The good news is that most people can get back to moving well again — they just need the right support, pacing and recovery strategy.

At Costa Med Osteopaths, Russell and Sonja regularly help people who feel frustrated, stiff, sore or suddenly “older” when returning to activity after a break.
The goal isn’t to push through pain.
The goal is to help your body adapt again safely, comfortably and confidently — without unnecessary strain or tissue overload.
Because restarting movement is a process… not a punishment. 😊
Your body can feel capable again.
Sometimes it just needs a little expert help bridging the gap.

✨ You exercise.
✨ You drink water.
✨ You try to eat well.
✨ You take care of your health, energy and wellbeing.

But sometimes… the face in the mirror doesn’t quite reflect how youthful, vibrant and alive you actually feel inside.

That’s exactly why so many people love Sonja’s Ultra HIFU non-surgical facelifting treatment at Costa Med Osteopaths.

This advanced treatment works deep beneath the surface of the skin, stimulating your own natural collagen and lifting support structures to help:

🌿 Lift and firm tired areas
🌿 Improve skin tone and definition
🌿 Soften sagging and loss of elasticity
🌿 Restore a fresher, more radiant appearance
🌿 Create natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery

No frozen expressions.
No “overdone” look.
Just a fresher, healthier, naturally lifted version of you. ✨

And one of the most surprising things?

Costa Med Osteopaths offers this treatment at a fraction of the price often seen elsewhere in Europe — making high-level aesthetic technology far more accessible without compromising on care or quality.

Because feeling good and looking refreshed should go hand in hand. ❤️

Some things change so gradually that we almost stop noticing how much they affect our lives.

🤔 Avoiding long walks (or bike rides!) because of bladder worries.
🤔 Feeling uncomfortable, weak or disconnected in your core.
🤔 Losing confidence after childbirth.
🤔 Feeling frustrated by leaks, dryness, pelvic heaviness or prostate-related changes.
🤔 Quietly planning life around “just in case.”

So many people live with these struggles in silence because they feel too personal to talk about.

That’s why we’re so passionate about our HIFEM pelvic floor therapy chair at Costa Med Osteopaths.

This gentle, non-invasive treatment works by stimulating and strengthening the deep pelvic floor muscles in a way that is incredibly difficult to achieve through normal exercise alone.

✅ Our 28 minute sessions are easy!
✅ You're fully-clothed.
✅ You just sit on our special chair.
✅ The electromagnetic waves do all the work for you.
✅ Relax, read a book and recover your inner pelvic floor power!

For many people, a stronger functioning pelvic floor can mean:

🥳 Better bladder control
🥳 Improved core support and stability
🥳 Greater confidence and comfort
🥳 Support after childbirth
🥳 Help with pelvic weakness and prolapse symptoms
🥳 Improved intimate wellness
🥳 Better support for men experiencing prostate-related pelvic floor issues

And perhaps most importantly…

A feeling of freedom again.

💙 Freedom to laugh without worry.
💙 To move with more confidence.
💙 To feel stronger from the inside out.

These conversations can feel difficult to start — but you are not alone, and there is absolutely no shame in seeking help and support for your pelvic health.

If you’ve been struggling quietly, we’re here to listen with kindness, understanding and professional care. 💙

Wishing you all a happy Easter… with a little feel-good indulgence! 🍫🐣

Easter is often about treats…
but what if your treat could actually support your health too?

✨ Good quality dark chocolate (80%+ cacao) isn’t just delicious—it’s rich in natural compounds that can benefit your body:

💙 Magnesium – supports muscle relaxation and nervous system balance
💙 Flavanols – powerful antioxidants that support heart and circulation health
💙 Mood support – helps stimulate feel-good chemicals like serotonin

And paired with berries like raspberries or strawberries ...🍓

🧡 Vitamin C – supports your immune system and collagen production
💚 Polyphenols – help reduce inflammation and support cellular health

So this Easter, it’s not about restriction…
it’s about choosing better, nourishing smarter and enjoying every bite.

Because feeling good doesn’t mean missing out—
it means understanding what truly supports your body 💙

Happy Easter from both of us at Costa Med Osteopaths
