Ready or Not?

-

Another year comes to an end, and a new one begins. Whether you feel prepared or not, time moves forward – and so does life. From a physiotherapist’s perspective, we understand that the body experiences the same thing.

Change does not wait for permission. New routines, new demands, longer work hours, stress, pregnancy, recovery, aging, and everyday responsibilities all place different loads on the body. Ready or not, the body adapts.


Most injuries and long-term pain do not appear suddenly. They often begin quietly – with poor posture, repeated strain, reduced movement, or ignored discomfort. Many people only seek help when pain becomes limiting. But physiotherapy is not only about treating pain; it is about preventing it through understanding, movement, and awareness.

That is where The Physio Diary comes in.

Before the back pain starts.

Before the neck stiffness becomes constant.

Before daily activities feel difficult or painful.


Our goal is to equip you with knowledge – simple, practical tips on posture, movement, exercise, and body care – so your body is better prepared for whatever each season brings.

As this year ends and a new one begins, consider this an invitation:

  • to move better,

  • to listen to your body,

  • and to understand that caring for your body is not a luxury—it is necessary.

Because life will keep moving forward.

And your body will keep showing up for you.

Ready or Not?

Understanding Paresthesia: Causes and When to Worry

-

Introduction Have you ever been in a situation where suddenly you realise you can't feel your fingers or toes or a part of your body? They’re numb, like a thousand tiny pins are attacking you all at once. Your hand feels heavy, strange, almost detached. For some, this is the moment wild thoughts kick in: Maybe it’s spiritual warfare. Maybe arrows have been fired by unseen enemies. But take a deep breath—it’s okay. You’re not cursed. You’ve just experienced a harmless (and common) phenomenon known as paresthesia. Most of us have felt it at least once in our lives. So sit back, relax, and let’s dig a little deeper. What is Paresthesia? As described earlier, that weird, tingly numbness in a body part isn’t a sign of doom. Paresthesia simply means that part of your body isn't getting enough blood supply or a nerve has been irritated—so the area feels like it's "asleep."  Our bodies rely on steady blood flow and unobstructed nerve signals to function properly. When tha...

Hot vs. Cold Therapy: The Ultimate Showdown!

Truth be told, there has been an ongoing debate for centuries—which is better for pain and injury recovery: cold therapy or hot therapy? And today, it’s time to demystify it once and for all! Although we began last week with " The Arthritis and Its Physiotherapist "—and yes, we’ll continue exploring that topic—understanding this battle and knowing who the real winner is will help you manage your body better. So, sit back, relax, and let’s finally uncover the truth! Let’s Get Creative for a Moment… Take a nostalgic walk back to childhood. Who remembers those moments when, as kids, we fell, hit our heads, or bumped our knees—only to end up with a swollen lump on our foreheads? (Take a smile if you were one of the ‘forehead bumpers’!) What happened next? Your mother or guardian rushed in, cradled you in their lap, and out came that small, red-labeled hot balm bottle—whether it was Robb, Aboliki, or another strong-smelling ointment. Or she could even dab that place with something...

An Unwanted Guest After Exercises

Exercise is supposed to be the ultimate stress reliever, right? The thing that makes you feel invincible, like you can take on the world. For fitness enthusiasts, it’s pure joy—a dose of happy hormones and the thrill of progress. But for the rest of us mere mortals? Exercise can sometimes leave us feeling like we’ve been hit by a truck. Why? Because you wake up the next day and—surprise!—you’re sore all over. Your arms feel like noodles, your legs are protesting every movement, and even lifting your morning coffee feels like a workout. Sound familiar? Welcome to the not-so-glamorous world of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: The Silent Saboteur of New Year Resolutions Just like the name says, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is that delayed soreness that creeps in after rest—usually after putting your muscles through more work than they’re used to. It doesn’t hit right away. No, DOMS is sneakier than that. It waits a day or two before announcing i...
