Do you wake up feeling stiff and struggle to get moving in the morning?🫠
After several hours of rest, it's not unusual for joints and muscles to feel less mobile when you first get up. For many people, this stiffness eases once they start moving around. But it can have a number of different causes, so it's worth paying attention to how your body feels and how long it lasts. Activity levels, previous injuries, and changes within the joints can all play a part.
❤️ Gentle movement can often help you feel more mobile after rest, and regular activity and exercise are important for keeping your joints functioning well.
That said, ongoing pain or stiffness shouldn't simply be put down to getting older. If morning stiffness is persistent, worsening, or affecting your daily life, it may be worth finding out what may be contributing to it.
❤️Osteopaths are trained to assess how your joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues are moving and functioning, and can offer treatment, advice, and exercises tailored to you.
