Lower back pain that keeps coming back? Stretching alone might not be enough. 💪

This strengthening exercise works your quadratus lumborum and obliques, the muscles that help support your lower spine.

Slow and controlled, 8 to 10 reps each side.

Knee OA pain? Your glutes might be part of the answer 🍑

Strong glutes help share the load so your knees don’t have to do all the work.

Try 3 sets of 10-15 reps, 4 days a week. Keep any discomfort at 4/10 or below, and stop if anything feels sharp.

📩 Comment “OA” and I’ll DM you my free Knee OA Glute Strength Guide.

Yes, I’m a physio, and yes, I take cod liver oil every day on purpose 🐟

Omega-3s support your body’s normal inflammatory response, and vitamin D supports normal bones and muscles. The NHS says to consider it October to March, because our sun basically goes on holiday ☀️

It’s my daily habit for my joints and wellbeing. Capsules only, no fishy breath.

But supplements are the 1%. The squats are the 99%.

Tell me in the comments: capsule or spoon? 🐟 And if your joints are grumbling, DM me ‘BOOK’ or check the link in bio to book a session with me (Solihull and Birmingham).

Not medical advice. Check with your GP or pharmacist first, especially if you’re pregnant (cod liver oil contains vitamin A, which isn’t safe in excess), on blood thinners, or taking other supplements.

Lateral hip pain that’s worse when you lie on your side? 🙋‍♀️ It’s often gluteal tendinopathy, and it’s very common in women, especially around perimenopause.

Glute medius strengthening is a great place to start:
1️⃣ Side-lying hip abduction
2️⃣ Add a light resistance band when that feels easy

Aim for 3 x 10-15, to fatigue. Keep it slow and controlled.

⚠️ Tip: avoid crossing your top leg over your midline too far or stretching the outer hip. It can aggravate the tendon.

If your pain is persistent or not improving, get it properly assessed. Book in with me via the link in my bio. 🤍
