Good evening Move Well Team 🤗
Just a heads up to say, we now have plenty of spaces available on my Tuesday evening rehab class. This class starts at 6.30pm at Stowmarket Community Centre, Hillside, IP142BD.
If you're currently managing a musckoskeletal condition such as Osteoarthritis, mechanical neck/back pain or generally just have achy/sore joints without a diagnosis, this may be the perfect class for you. Struggling with pain can be very debilitating and exercise is often the last thing you want to do. Pain is complex, and it isn't always as simple as just strengthening. Following the right guidance is key, and that is what I am here for, to offer my support to all of you. I currently work with a physio team in Suffolk, so I have seen many conditions over the years.
Exercise in the evening can be very daunting when managing pain, however, there are many benefits to this as you can see below.
Benefits of evening exercise rehabilitation:
⭐ Immediate pain relief - Movement activates your body's natural pain relief system to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
⭐ Movement can break the end of the day pain cycle - Musculoskeletal pain often worsens at night due to accumulated stress from either sitting for too long, or manual labor depending on what you do for a living.
Treating pain when it occurs is often the most effective.
⭐ Movement can help to improve sleep quality -
Gentle exercise can help you fall asleep faster, achieve deeper sleep, and reduce awakenings in the middle of the night.
⭐ Reduced Stiffness - Movement acts as a pump for circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to painful areas while removing inflammatory waste that builds up during sedentary evening hours.
⭐ Mental Decompression - An evening exercise routine helps to melt away daily stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety heighten pain, especially when you are managing a musckoskeletal condition.
Here below is a video of the set up we have done recently in the classes.
