August can be a strange month for the body. You’re either just back from holiday—or trying to cram everything in before school starts again. And somewhere between sun loungers, long car journeys, awkward plane seats, and extra childcare duties, your back, shoulders or knees have started complaining.
Sound familiar?
Whether you’ve:
- Carried kids through airports or beaches or dragged the ubiquitous ‘Trunky’ around!
- Slept on a questionable holiday mattress
- Sat too long in traffic or on a flight
- Fallen out of your usual exercise routine as well as over indulging
- Picked up a niggle playing summer sport…
…your body might be telling you it’s time for a reset.
“I Thought I’d Feel Better After a Break—Why Do I Feel Worse?”
It’s a common thing we hear around this time of year.
People expect a holiday to refresh their body—but end up returning home with more aches and pains. That’s usually down to:
- Sudden change in activity levels (too much or too little)
- Long hours sitting during travel
- Unfamiliar beds or furniture
- Lack of movement/stretching
- Old injuries flaring up after carrying luggage or kids
Now Is the Perfect Time to Rebalance
The good news? August is the ideal time to get things sorted—before September’s busyness kicks in. With children heading back to school soon and work routines resuming, now’s your chance to tackle those holiday-related aches before they become longer-term problems.
At The Physiotherapists, we offer:
- Personalised treatment in your own home
- Tailored exercises to ease stiffness & restore movement
- Support to reintroduce healthy routines
- Guidance to prevent problems returning
