Hello lovely people—hope you're doing well today.

I wanted to share a simple but important tip, especially for those of us living with arthritis.

Our bodies naturally produce a lubricant called synovial fluid, which helps our joints move more smoothly. The great thing is, we can encourage our bodies to produce more of it just by starting to move. Gentle, consistent movement helps “oil the hinges,” so to speak—making daily activities feel a bit easier.

If you’re planning something physically demanding—even just walking a little more than usual—it’s a good idea to gently mobilise your joints first. Gentle practices like Qigong, Tai Chi, or slow, mindful yoga can be fantastic ways to get your body moving without overdoing it.

Taking a few minutes to warm up can really help ease stiffness, reduce discomfort, and support joint health over time. The key is consistency and kindness toward your body.

This also helps to reduce further wear and tear on the joints thus prolonging there lifespan.

Bowen therapy is a wonderful way to help rebalance the body so the joints wear evenly and not just on the one side. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more about Bowen and arthiritis.

Wishing you ease, comfort, and happy joints.

With warmth,
Roland 😊
