Warmer weather causes your blood vessels to widen, making it easier for fluid to collect in your feet and ankles. While this is often harmless, there are simple things you can do to reduce swelling.

👣 Keep moving throughout the day.
💧 Stay well hydrated.
⬆️ Elevate your legs whenever you can.
👟 Wear comfortable, supportive footwear.
🚶 Avoid sitting or standing in one position for long periods.

If your swelling is persistent, painful, affects only one leg, or is accompanied by redness or shortness of breath, it's important to seek medical advice promptly.

At Action Physiotherapy, we're here to help you stay comfortable, active and moving well throughout the summer.

We all love making the most of the sunshine, but exercising in hot weather puts extra strain on your body. A few simple precautions can help you enjoy your workout while reducing the risk of heat-related illness.

🌅 Exercise early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler.
💧 Stay hydrated before, during and after exercise.
🧢 Wear light, breathable clothing and don't forget a hat if you're outdoors.
🧴 Apply sunscreen and take regular breaks in the shade.
🐢 Slow your pace if you're finding the heat challenging.
👂 Most importantly, listen to your body. If you feel dizzy, sick, unusually tired or develop a headache, stop exercising, move somewhere cool and rehydrate.

At Action Physiotherapy, we want you to stay active all year round — but safely. If pain or injury is stopping you from enjoying your favourite activities, we're here to help.

- Some very good points 💪

Recovering from a marathon? Focus on rest, nutrition and active recovery!

A recent Umbrella Review from Li et al. (2024) has found inconsistent results with passive strategies like massage and cryotherapy. Here’s what I would consider instead:

🗓️ Plan recovery into training - don’t rush back to running, rest this week and include active recovery to gently get things moving. Sometimes a ‘reverse taper’ can be useful - this involves gradually building training back toward goal levels over the next 3 to 4 weeks (like tapering but in reverse!). Going forward we might recommend that recovery days are included in the weekly schedule and recovery weeks are planned in roughly every 4 weeks where volume is reduced to address fatigue.

🧘🏻Mental wellbeing - training for a marathon can take over life for 4 to 6 months! Downtime away from the sport to relax and unwind can really help recharge the batteries!

😴 Sleep - 26.2 miles is a huge stress on the body, now is a good time to have some early nights and work on things that might disturb sleep such as stress, sleep environment or night time routine.

🥘 Nutrition - completing a marathon empties the tank, it’s time to re-fuel it! Research on over 1,000 marathon runners found 42.5% of female athletes and 17.6% of male athletes had low energy availability (Whitney et al. 2024). This needs to be addressed as a priority before building training.
