“Running is bad for your knees.” 🏃‍♂️

It’s a common myth. Some studies have even found thicker knee cartilage in recreational runners compared with sedentary adults.

Running, squats and lunges aren’t inherently “bad” for your knees. If an activity hurts right now, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s damaging your joints—or that you need to give it up forever.

Often, understanding what’s causing the pain, adjusting your training and building strength through quality rehab can help you get back to doing what you enjoy. 💪

If running is painful and you want to return, we can help. Book an appointment with our physio team.

Your rehab doesn’t stop when you go to bed. 😴

Sleep helps your body recover from exercise and injury. When you’re consistently short on sleep, pain can feel harder to manage, and fatigue can affect how you move and train. Good sleep won’t guarantee you avoid injury, but it’s a useful part of staying well and recovering.

Five habits worth trying:

🌙 Keep your wake-up time fairly consistent, even on weekends.
☀️ Get some daylight early in the day.
☕ Keep caffeine to the morning or early afternoon if it affects your sleep.
📱 Give yourself a wind-down period before bed and put the phone away.
🛏️ Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet where possible.

If pain is waking you regularly, mention it to your physio so your rehab plan can account for it.

Which sleep habit makes the biggest difference for you?

Too old to start lifting weights? You might be surprised. 💪

The goal isn’t to lift the most weight in the gym. It might be getting out of a chair more easily, carrying the shopping, climbing stairs with confidence or staying active with the grandkids.

Strength training can help with all of those things, and you can start at a level that suits you. A physio can help you work out where to begin and how to progress safely.

WE HAVE A NEW PHYSIO!

Read Emma introducing herself to the community below:

I’m Emma, an Irish physiotherapist originally from Co. Cavan. I graduated with a First-Class Honours BSc in Physiotherapy from Teesside University in 2023 and have gained experience across hospital, private practice and community settings in both Ireland and Australia.

I have a strong interest in musculoskeletal, sports and rehabilitation physiotherapy, with additional training in dry needling, taping and strength & conditioning. I particularly enjoy working in busy clinical environments, problem-solving with patients and helping people return to the activities they enjoy.

Outside of physiotherapy, I’m very active and have a long-standing background in boxing, as well as an interest in strength training and sport. I’ve also worked as a physiotherapist with GAA. I love travelling and exploring new places, especially road trips and camping, and I’m currently making the most of my time in Australia.

Pain on the outside of your hip, especially when lying on that side? It may be greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). 🦵

Often called “trochanteric bursitis,” GTPS commonly involves the gluteal tendons too. Walking, stairs, hills and lying on the sore side can aggravate it.

A useful starting point is to reduce pressure on the hip—try a pillow between your knees at night and avoid standing with your weight hanging on one hip. From there, gradually strengthening the glutes helps rebuild tolerance for everyday activity.

Recovery is usually gradual over weeks to months. Our new blog explains the symptoms, assessment and treatment options. Read it via the link in bio.

Rehab isn’t always a straight road.

There can be good days, setbacks, detours and moments when progress feels slow—but consistency matters more than perfection.

With the right diagnosis, a clear treatment plan and support along the way, you can keep moving forward.

Stay the course. We’re hear to help along the way.

Heel pain with your first steps in the morning? 👣

It’s often called plantar fasciitis, though plantar fasciopathy can be a more useful term: the issue is usually about how much load the tissue can currently tolerate, rather than simple inflammation.

Taping, supportive shoes or orthotics, as well as hands on treatment can help settle symptoms.

For lasting improvement, the key is generally progressive strengthening and gradually rebuilding your walking, running or standing tolerance with help and guidance from your healthcare professional.

Recovery can take months, especially if the pain has been around for a while. You don’t usually need complete rest, but you may need to adjust activities that cause a significant flare.

Working at a desk all day? Try these three simple tips to reduce back and neck strain:

1️⃣ Your best posture is your next posture—change positions regularly.
2️⃣ Take frequent movement breaks, even if it’s only for a minute or two.
3️⃣ Set up your workspace sensibly so your body isn’t constantly straining.

There’s no single “perfect” posture. The key is comfortable variety and regular movement.

Save this for your next workday! 💻
