Welcome to Restored Eden Physiotherapy, where we understand that although life begins at 40, midlife also brings its own set of physical challenges. So, if you find yourself in this age bracket, ranging from 40 to 60 years, and are committed to maintaining your physical fitness, this blog is tailored just for you. Let's delve into the world of common injuries, explore prevention strategies, and discover the personalised care that sets us apart.
Everyday Injuries in Midlife: Recognising Your Body's Signals
As we age, hopefully gracefully, the body may send signals in the form of aches and pains, making it crucial to understand common injuries. From strained muscles to joint issues, everyday injuries can take a toll on your well-being. One of the most prevalent issues is back pain, often stemming from poor posture or prolonged sitting. Shoulder injuries, commonly caused by repetitive movements or poor form during workouts, are also on the rise at this age. Identifying issues early on is key to effective prevention and recovery and that's where our journey begins.
Proactive Steps with Restored Eden: Your Holistic Health Partner
Prevention is at the core of our philosophy at Restored Eden Physiotherapy. We believe in a proactive and holistic approach to health, tailored to your unique needs. Through a comprehensive exercise regimen encompassing strength training and flexibility exercises, we aim to build resilience and guard against common injuries. Our approach emphasises proper form and the incorporation of rest days, ensuring a sustainable, long-term commitment to your well-being and significantly reducing the risk of overuse injuries.
Personalized Physiotherapy: Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
When injuries do occur, Restored Eden offers a personalized approach to recovery. Your journey to recovery begins with a thorough assessment, allowing us to identify the root cause of your discomfort. From there, a personalised treatment plan is crafted, combining targeted exercises and manual therapy to restore function and alleviate pain.
Now let’s dive into our current method for treating backpain as an example.
Firstly, we would set up strength training for postural power: We believe in empowering you with the muscles needed to hold and maintain good posture. Our strength training regime is designed to fortify your body, providing the foundation for a pain free back.
Followed by mobilising your back for freedom of movement: As we hit our 40s, we tend to lose the full range of motion in our backs. Our approach involves mobilising your back to ensure it retains its natural flexibility and mobility. After all, freedom of movement is the key to a resilient and healthy spine.
Finally, we provide deep tissue massage: Unleashing the magic within muscles. Our deep tissue massage isn’t your standard run-of-the-mill relaxation. It’s a strategic manoeuvre aimed at loosening up the muscles in your back, paving the way for you to effortlessly adopt and maintain good posture. A massage from a qualified physiotherapists who understands the importance of full range of movement and how to improve mobility is far more effective than a standard massage.
Charting Your Recovery Course: What to Expect at Restored Eden
Embarking on your recovery journey involves clear communication and collaboration. Our experienced physiotherapists will guide you through the process, explaining each step and setting realistic expectations. Whether it's modifying exercises to accommodate your current abilities or introducing gradual progressions, we ensure that your recovery plan aligns with your unique needs.
Balancing Act: Staying Active During Recovery with Restored Eden's Support
We recognise the importance of staying active, even during the recovery phase. While some injuries may necessitate a temporary break from intense physical activity, our approach encourages controlled, modified exercises to promote healing without causing further harm. With our guidance, you can maintain an active lifestyle while prioritising your body's need for recovery.
Lifestyle Harmony: Sustaining Well-Being with Restored Eden's Guidance
Beyond immediate recovery, we emphasise lifestyle adjustments for sustained well-being. Our physiotherapists may recommend ergonomic changes, regular stretching sessions, and weight management strategies, ensuring that your body remains resilient against common injuries in the long run.
