Ever noticed how your body feels heavier or tighter after a stressful week? Or how your shoulders creep up towards your ears when you're feeling overwhelmed? It’s not your imagination—emotions really do live in the body.

As we age, many of us accept pain and stiffness as inevitable. However, my experience with clients has consistently shown that this doesn't have to be the case. Understanding your body and the way it works can make a significant difference in how we approach and prevent these challenges.

Myth: Age Equals Pain

One of the most common misconceptions is that pain and decreased mobility are unavoidable consequences of ageing. 

If you’ve ever had knee pain and couldn’t quite figure out why, you’re not alone.

A lot of people assume knee pain means there’s something wrong with the knee itself.
But in many cases, the knee is just caught in the middle of what’s really going on.

Whether it’s wobbling in a lunge, struggling to stand on one leg, or feeling unsure on uneven ground, balance issues become more common as we age.

But here’s the good news: you’re not stuck with it. And it’s not just “part of getting older.”

If you’ve ever experienced foot pain—especially something like plantar fasciitis—you might be surprised to learn that the real issue could be your ankles.

Yep. Not your shoes. Not your arches. Your ankles.

Let’s talk about toes. Not the most glamorous part of the body—but absolutely essential when it comes to movement and stability.

One of the most common things I notice when working with clients who struggle with balance? Their big toe isn’t doing its job.

I thought it was just a stubbed toe—painful, yes, but no big deal. But it led to limping, a locked up anke and lunges were off the table.
Who knew such a small injury could cause such a chain reaction?
If you’ve ever ignored a “minor” injury… this one’s for you.
