⁉️PHYSIO & ARTHRITIS⁉️

Do you struggle with arthritis? Is day to day life painful? A vast number of studies have shown massage can lead to a significant reduction in pain for people with arthritis.

It is also shown that studies on the effects of massage for arthritis symptoms found, regular use of massage led to improvements in pain, stiffness, range of motion, hand grip strength and overall function of the joints.

BUT if you really keep your goals in mind and know what you want to achieve..

SUCH AS: staying injury free so you can enjoy playing with grandkids, walking your dog, being able to enjoy working out and running or maybe it is keeping on top of your training without any missed weeks due to injury and getting PB’s in races and competitions.

Then it’s important to ditch the excuses:
📍not having enough time to stretch,
📍not having enough time to do strengthening work,
📍not having enough time to foam roller
📍 not having time to do Pilates or yoga
📍not having time to book to see a physiotherapist or sports therapist to reduce niggles and injuries.

We all struggle with time blocking and self discipline, WE have been there before! Trust US!

Sometimes a run or a work out takes longer than we have realised and we don’t have time to stretch immediately.. but it’s important this doesn’t become a habit and you nip your aches and pains in the bud.

So if you are still struggling with aches and pains, then contact us on 07966570575 📞 | [email protected] 📧

Women should not have to fight to be heard during menopause.

Recent UK survey findings by Markem and Kemp (2026) found that only 22% of women felt they had a good understanding of menopause treatment options, while more than a third of women who had sought help said they had to push to be taken seriously.

That matters.

Because menopause is not just about hot flushes.

It can affect sleep, recovery, confidence, pain, energy, strength, exercise, work and how you feel in your own body.

At The Pressure Point, we understand that these experiences are individual.

We do not assume that every ache, injury or change in performance is “just menopause”.

We listen.

We ask about your symptoms, your activity, your lifestyle, your goals and how things have changed for you.

Then we work with you to build a plan that may include:

• strength and rehabilitation
• returning to exercise
• managing pain and injury
• building confidence in movement
• adapting training around symptoms
• helping you understand what your body may need now

Our approach is not about telling women to slow down.

It is about helping women feel heard, understood and supported to stay strong and active through menopause and beyond.

If you feel like your body has changed and you are not sure what to do next, come and talk to us.

We see SO MANY runners who come into clinic with knee, hip, ankle and back pain🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

GUESS WHAT..🤯

These aches and pains are usually a secondary injury to the glutes not activating when they are running causing other areas to become overused and weak.

Call NOW 07966570575 📞 or email [email protected] 📧 to get your aches and pains fixed ASAP!

Why are women more prone to injuries than men?🧍🏼‍♀️

There is probably a combination of factors that contribute to the higher incidence of injuries among female athletes. The most common explanation is that it’s due to basic differences between the bodies of men and women. For example, the typical female athlete, as compared with her male counterpart, has:

📌higher estrogen levels, along with less muscle mass and more body fat
📌greater flexibility (due to looser ligaments) and less powerful muscles
📌a wider pelvis, which alters the alignment of the knee and ankle
📌a narrower space within the knee for the ACL to travel through
📌a greater likelihood of inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake.

Women also tend to move differently than men. For example, when landing from a jump, women tend to land more upright and with the knees closer together. And when female athletes suddenly change direction, they tend to do so on one foot (perhaps due to their wider pelvis), while men tend to “cut” from both feet.

🏋🏼‍♀️Sometimes a shoulder injury isn’t just a shoulder injury. What if your grip was playing a role? And why wouldn’t it? In CrossFit, we grip everything!🏋🏻‍♂️

The barbell, the rig, the rower, the jump rope, the kettlebell, the dumbbell… We cannot ignore how we grip and the influence this has on shoulder health. Proper and strong grip has it been shown to improve rotator cuff activity and may actually play an important role in injury prevention and recovery.

🔥 THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH GRIP INFLUENCES THE SHOULDER: 🔥

1️⃣. THERE IS A NEUROLOGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN GRIP AND THE ROTATOR CUFF. 🧠

2️⃣. A FIRM AND PROPER GRIP INCREASES NEURAL DRIVE THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

3️⃣. GRIP STRENGTH HELPS TO BALANCE WHICH MUSCLES IN THE SHOULDER WE ARE USING.

✅For more information on these factors and exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine to prevent or fix any boggles you have

Lower back pain - change the way you think!🙌🏽

Movement & Exercise - movement is encouraged when you have lower back pain. People fear twisting and bending but it is essential to keep moving! Gradually increase the amount you are doing and stay on the go - This is better for recovery and preventing recurrence than bed rest. Exercise can help your back pain get better quicker due to strengthening!

Your spine is designed to bend and twist and move.. restricting this only makes it weaker.

Knee pain rehab is about more than just exercises 👇

If you have pain around the front of your knee, you may have been given strengthening exercises before.

But research by Ghorbani et al (2026) is increasingly showing that education matters too.

A recent randomised controlled trial looking at people with patellofemoral pain compared exercise alone with exercise plus structured education.

Why is that important?

Because rehabilitation is not just about making muscles stronger.

It is also about helping you understand:

• what your pain may mean
• how much activity is appropriate
• how to manage flare ups
• when to push and when to modify
• why some discomfort does not automatically mean you are causing damage
• how to build confidence in using the knee again

At The Pressure Point, this is exactly how we approach rehabilitation.

We do not want you leaving with a sheet of exercises and no idea why you are doing them.

We want you to understand your condition, feel confident managing it and know how your rehab should progress.

Because the goal is not simply to complete your exercises.

It is to help you get back to walking, running, training, sport and everyday life with confidence.

If knee pain is stopping you doing the things you enjoy, get in touch.
