"Why Aches And Pains Feel Worse When It’s Cold Outside?"

Are your joints starting to feel stiff lately? Do they ache more than usual? Have you noticed any clicks and cracks coming from your knees?

If you’re struggling to put your finger on it and you’re not sure why it’s happening to you - chances are you’re not alone.

Many people just like you are becoming a victim of knee and joint pain. This time of year (every year!), joint pain is one of the most common things we see and treat at the Prestige Therapy and Wellness.

It starts with a few clicks of the knees now and then. But nothing painful, and you think nothing of it.

Then as time goes on, when your knees click, it’s painful, and they start to ache a bit more (usually around the knee cap and on the inside of your knee).

Sometimes after you’ve walked around throughout the day, the knees can begin to ache and feel sore. And getting back up again after relaxing on the sofa, you notice it takes a few steps for your knees ‘to get going’...

They can even make it difficult for you to get out of your car with ease. And when the cold weather hits Wisconsin, your joints begin to feel even WORSE.

So why does it happen? And why does it happen more to men and women aged 65+?

Well, there are a WHOLE bunch of reasons that exist as to why joints in your body become more problematic in the Wintertime. But the two most common reasons we see at the clinic are these:

The cold weather naturally restricts the warmth of the blood that flows around your body (which helps keep you warm and mobile).

– AND –

The fact you’re much less likely to keep as active and mobile in the winter as you did in the warmer months.

Keeping mobile is just like spraying ’WD-40’ on the stiff parts of a bike or car. Just like a vehicle needs oil to get you from point A to B efficiently – your joints need to keep active, so they don’t stiffen up.

And here’s the thing that many people don’t realize – the winter months and long periods of inactivity can be the root cause of many years of what I call – ‘all of a sudden’ life long knee pains.

You see, as your muscles get a long rest this winter, there’s a chance they’ll become weaker and slowly get to the point where they won’t be able to support your knees.

And worse yet, many people don’t even notice it happening until the pain sets in.

But when it does, a chain of events is triggered, and when your knees don’t have the support of strong muscles, problems like arthritis can set in, which is why it’s so essential to make the most of every opportunity you have this winter to keep active.

I know it’s easy to think that when the weather begins to warm up, you’ll exercise again.

The problem is, very few people understand that your muscles need to be strong and stable to exercise safely!

And if you go into tough exercise too quick, there’s a chance you’ll injure yourself and make those sore joints feel even worse!

So my number one tip for you today to keep the winter aches away is to include some activity in your day, every day.

It doesn’t have to be outdoors!

You can participate in an exercise class with friends, performing low-impact movements that are kind to your joints like Pilates, Yoga or even Tai Cheng exercise programs from the comfort of your living room.

There is something for everyone.

So, what are you going to do to keep active this winter?
