I hear this quite often in practice: “I suppose it’s just because I’m getting older.”
Sometimes age is part of the picture. Our bodies change as we get older and it is completely normal for the way we move and recover to change too. But age doesn’t always explain why something has suddenly started feeling different.
A stiff neck. A sore knee on the stairs. Finding it harder to get comfortable after sitting. Losing some movement you used to have. There can be many things contributing to these changes and simply putting them down to age can mean we miss the opportunity to understand what is actually going on.
After 15 years in practice I’ve learnt that it is always worth looking at the whole picture rather than assuming there is one simple explanation.
Getting older is part of life. It doesn’t mean you have to stop asking questions about your health or accept every change without understanding it.
If something has changed and you’re not sure whether it is simply part of getting older or something worth looking into you can book a complimentary 15 minute consultation through the link in our bio.
