      <image:title>Blog - Stronger knees, smarter choices: rethinking osteoarthritis in women - Women are up to 3 and a half times more likely than men to suffer from knee osteoarthritis, and the incidence increases significantly post menopause. It may be due to the changes in joint anatomy, alignment and strength, hormones and weight. Women are also much more likely to have an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which in turn dramatically increases the risk of osteoarthritis within 15 years.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Stronger knees, smarter choices: rethinking osteoarthritis in women - Here’s what an woman’s osteoarthritic knee looks like: cartilage is lost at the ends of the bones, leaving less space between the joints. As cartilage wears down, bones can rub against each other. Bony spurs can also cause rubbing and there can be wider inflammation and swelling.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - A guide to joints, muscles and collagen - Here’s a typical joint (in this case, the knee). It shows ligaments, attaching one bone to the next, and a tendon attaching muscle to the bone. Cartilage is the smooth, lubricated surface at the ends of bone which allow movement and shock absorption. Collagen gives the bones, ligaments, cartilage and tendons essential strength and stability, allowing them to withstand and transmit high forces. There are many different types of collagen. Bones, ligaments and the connective tissues holding joints together are primarily Type I collagen, whilst Type II makes up over 90% of the cushioning cartilage. Muscle tendons are predominantly type I collagen,there is type II in the part where it attaches to the bone and type III in the sheath surrounding it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This image shows your knee joint. Like all joints, it has ligaments, which attach one bone to the next bone, and tendons, which join muscles to bone.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Collagen tissues and other joint tissues have oestrogen receptors. Dropping oestrogen, alongside ageing, can impact them. Up to 20% of women find that joint pain is their most dominant perimenopausal symptom. Academics have a collective term for the joint, muscle, nervous system, bone and inflammatory symptoms affecting women in menopause: Musculoskeletal Syndrome of the Menopause.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A healthy muscle mass helps your metabolism works effficiently not just when you’re moving, but also at rest. Women under 40 have, on average, a skeletal muscle mass of 30-33%, but this decreases as we get older. During peri and early post menopause, this can drop dramatically unless steps are taken to maintain and improve strength. Good muscle strength and quality helps muscles do their job - not only helping you move, but supporting your metabolism and regulating blood sugars.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The GLP-1(glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone regulates blood sugars and appetite through stumulating insulin release, slowing stomach emptying and helping you feel fuller for longer. Weight loss injections such as Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Saxenda work by mimicing the action of GLP-1 or the combined action of GLP-1 and another hormone, GIP.

      <image:caption>According to this paper, over 70% of all perimenopausal and menopausal women will experience pain, stiffness or problems related to bones, muscle and joints and 25% will experience severe symptoms. Women can get stuck in a cycle of pain, stiffness and sometimes, exhaustion. This in turn can impact work, family, self esteem and relationships, accompanied by personal and financial costs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Musculoskeletal Syndrome of the Menopause - 5 quick wins Understand what’s aggravating your joint or muscle problem Maintain gentle movement, stopping short of severe pain Support the affected area. Physios can help you understand what is best (and what not to waste money on!) e.g. a support for the wrist for carpal tunnel pain, a pillow between the legs when sleeping for outer hip tendon problems Nourish yourself to support healing. See Laura Clark @menopause.dietitian’s guidance on menopause and gut health here Practice self care. Stress and anxiety worsens inflammation, so support yourself with coping strategies.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Do weight bearing exercises, taking weight through arms and legs. Lift heavier weights Add impact. High impact exercise os better for bones, e.g. light jogging, adding vigour to a press up Move in multiple directions, not just a straight line e.g. ball sports, tennis Take Vitamin D in autumn and winter months. IT helps regulate calcium and phosphate uptake, and is recommended by the NHS.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>5 quick wins Treat injuries quickly. Delays can weaken joints and muscles further Strengthen stability muscles around joints. Each joint has muscles crossing it which give control and stability. e.g. rotator cuff muscles around the shoulder. Move a little, often, to stop joints getting stiff. Getting up from the desk regularly helps! Cycling keeps the legs moving and lubricates joints Do pelvic floor exercises, see a Specialist Women’s Health Physio if you have leakage, pain or problems</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Practice standing balance in bare feet - eyes open or shut. Being bare foot allows us to use our feet in the way we were designed to Yoga - I’m just about holding this pose for the picture but it can be hard! Jump or hop. Remember skipping and hopscotch? They train us to be dynamic and respond to stumbles Walk or jog on uneven paths Try something outside your balance comfort zone. From dance to paddleboarding, there’s something for everyone. For more on this, see my blog on visiting a blue zone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Low back pain - the research backed quick wins - 1) Make sense of pain</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Chartered Physio can help you make sense of your pain by looking at how you move, how that impacts pain and where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Reassuringly, Up to 90% of low back pain is ‘non- specific’ - meaning no one structure causes it, and it’s not necessarily associated with underlying damage or disease. For women, endometriosis, pre menstrual pain, postural changes (e.g. during and after pregnancy) and pelvic floor weakness can affect pain too, so understanding this and addressing it may be important.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Low back pain - the research backed quick wins - 2) Make a connection Connect with your body through activity. Pilates or Yoga can help you focus on particular parts of the body and deepen the mind-body connection. It can also reduce physical and mental tension. They build strength in key postural muscles too.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Low back pain - the research backed quick wins - 3) Move well, move often</image:title>
      <image:caption>Exercise has been shown to be the most effective treatment for low back pain. New research shows walking is an easy, free and accessible way to help. The Australian study, published in The Lancet, found regular walking (three to five times a week), progressively increased over time and alongside education substantially reduced low back pain and disability. It also almost halved the number having flare ups within a year. There’s no evidence that one type of exercise is better than others - just being active and staying consistent is the most important thing. Exercises lying on your back or on your hands and knees are the safest if you’re in alot of pain.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Have you noticed that back pain is better when you’re away from the desk or on holiday? Stress and anxiety are well known contributors to back pain. It’s not a quick fix, but looking at your lifestyle and making time to be active outside can boost mood. Consider how you best relax, and schedule time for it. This will be different for everyone!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Sporting Woman's quick guide to the Pelvic Floor - If you've been to an antenatal class, a pilates class or had a baby, chances are the phrase 'pelvic floor' has been mentioned. But what does it actually refer to? And why does it matter?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The pelvic floor is the 'foundation' which supports your pelvic organs (specifically the bladder, uterus (womb) and bowel). It refers to the muscles and ligaments which act like a sling to provide this support, and the openings of the pelvic organs pass through the pelvic floor too. The pelvic floor muscles attach to the pubic bone at the front and tail bone at the back, crossing the base of the pelvis like a hammock, and act in coordination with other deep postural muscles, in particular the diaphragm and deep transverse abdominals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Foot core - Love your shoes? I’d never suggesting that women abandon style, but it’s worth noting that ill fitting shoes which cramp the foot and wearing heels, which shorten the calf muscle and tendon, can cause or amplify problems (even Carrie gracefully grappled with and accepted her midlife hip pain and surgery in And Just Like That!). In the summer, flip flops or open shoes with an arch support and/or heel support may help balance the trade off between fashion and practicality.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - "Frozen shoulder" - myths, truths and treatments. Part 1 - The best way to get a formal diagnosis is an in person consultation with a GP, shoulder consultant or Physio. The gold standard management is to have an Xray to ensure there's no bony, joint or other issue responsible for the pain. Physios can also undertake tests to see exactly the direction of movement limitation. Limited side rotation, trouble lifting the arm out to the side or above your head and put your hand behind your back are hallmark signs. What you will feel? Trouble lifting your arm, washing your hair, doing up your bra or putting on your coat. This can happen alongside other shoulder problems, such as rotator cuff muscle tears or joint problems.</image:title>

Lift one arm behind you, then alternate the arms. This strengthens the big straplike muscles running up each side of the spine, and works the deeper abdominal muscles too.</image:caption>
