Raking leaves, clearing the garden, and closing up the cottage for the season all ask a lot of the body. Repeated bending, twisting, and lifting can add up faster than we realize, especially when we're trying to get everything done before the weather turns.
A few gentle reminders: keep your knees soft, switch sides often, and take breaks before you feel strained. Your back will thank you.
If stiffness is lingering after a weekend outdoors, gentle osteopathic care can help your body recover and reset.
