Inflammation PT

If you know you know 🥶

This year I have swapped bone pain for immune suppression, it’s all fun and games aye! 😅

A few weeks into cold weather and I have already had a cold and a migraine 🙌

Like everything with inflammatory arthritis you have to put the work in, you don’t always get the short term results you want, but you have to persist to get the long term results.

This winter I focus on trying to regulate my immune system to prevent getting sick every other week and make the most of not being in pain by getting stronger and doing the things I enjoy 🧗‍♂️🚵‍♂️🏔️ wish me luck 🍀

What’s your winter goal?

Learning to climb with inflammatory arthritis (AS) has been a challenge.

I’ve had to become an expert in listening to my own body and learning when to pick my battles.

It didn’t just happen over night though.

Whatever your goal is with Ankylosing Spondylitis you need to understand the mechanics of your body to ensure you don’t aggravate your condition.

In this circumstance I knew that if I ever wanted to climb again, I needed to improve hip mobility and strength because climbing involves various planes and range of motion. If I could improve on these I knew I would be strong enough to get into those positions without aggravating my sacroillitis joint.

However this process has been part of a 3 year plan of mine, to give you an understanding of the level of patience required to get it this point 😅

Every client I’ve helped has been different and everyone takes a different amount of time to reach their goal.

The most common and successful goal I’ve helped people achieve is reduction in pain, but the principles are the same!
