When was the last time you really thought about your feet? We rely on them every single day, they carry us from place to place, absorb impact, support our posture, and balance our entire body weight. Yet, despite their importance, we often ignore them unless something starts to hurt. 

Menopause is a natural phase of life, but for many women, it brings a range of challenging physical and emotional changes. From hot flushes and mood swings to joint pain and fatigue, the effects of menopause can impact daily life, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing. 

Running is one of the most accessible and effective forms of exercise. Whether you're aiming to improve your fitness, lose weight, or just enjoy the outdoors, lacing up your trainers and heading out for a run is a great choice.  

If you’re waking up with stiffness, neck tension, sore shoulders or lower back pain, your sleep posture could be the culprit. At Willaston Physio, we regularly see clients whose pain has been worsened (or even caused) by poor positioning during sleep.
