Sorry - a bit late - in recognition of Stress Awareness Month – April 2026

The relationship between stress and chronic pain isn't incidental. Stress influences your entire system. So what's actually happening in your body?

The UK's 2026 National Cancer Plan formally embeds prehabilitation and rehabilitation as core, mandatory components of care, significantly elevating the role of physiotherapy. The plan, which guides care for the next decade, ensures patients access exercise, diet, and support services from diagnosis through to recovery or palliative care.

Most people are not aware of prehab. Cancer Research has put together a help guide:

Prehabilitation means getting ready for cancer treatment in whatever time you have before it starts. It is a programme of support and advice that some NHS hospitals are using.

“Regular exercise is linked to better mental health, reduced dementia risk, and other benefits..… myokines seem to factor in.

For instance ….. a myokine called cathepsin B is released from muscles when you run.

It enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain, where it stimulates the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

BDNF helps brain cells grow and survive and plays a part in learning and memory.”

“Muscles and bones are closely linked. Like muscles, bones are living tissues that the body continually remodels and repairs.

When you exercise, your muscles put an extra load on your bones. This mechanical stress stimulates bone growth and repair.”

Muscles don’t just help you move. They also produce compounds called myokines that support the health of your whole body.
