Introduction

Think you're healthy just because you feel fine? Think again! Your posture, energy levels, and flexibility all say a lot about your health. Let’s fix that—right from home!

Tips on How to Exercise Effectively

  • Set a Clear Goal

Ask yourself: why do I want to exercise?

Are you recovering from an injury? Do you want to lose weight? Are you looking to build strength or flexibility? Or you just want to stay active as you age?

What category do you fall under? Your goal decides your workout plan! 

Write it down!

  • Choose the Right Type of Exercise:

Not all exercises are for everyone. Your workout (or exercise) should match your goal! For example, for someone with knee arthritis, the focus is on strengthening of the leg muscles. A ballerina's goal will be to proritize flexibility and stretching; while someone aiming at weight loss will benefit better with cardio and strength training. 

Even if you and a friend have the same goal, your workouts should be personalized. Choose wisely to avoid injuries!


💡 Need a custom plan? Send us a message!


  • Plan Your Workout Routine: 

Decide how often and how long you’ll work out. 3–5 times a week is ideal for most people, and 30–60 minutes per session keeps you on track. Physiotherapy patients on the other hand, should follow daily home exercises.

With exercise, consistency is key, and a structured routine prevents injuries and ensures progress.


💡 Need an accountability partner? We’ve got you covered—reach out!


  • Warm-Up & Cool Down

Never jump straight into intense exercise!

Warm-up: Perform light stretches or jogging on the spot (just like pro athletes do before a game). Cool-down: Stretch to ease back into a resting state and prevent stiffness.



Final Note

Drop your phone and jog for 3 minutes.

Done? Now relax—you just took your first step! Exercise doesn’t have to be hard. You just need the right plan. Start today and send us your progress!

Hot vs. Cold Therapy: The Ultimate Showdown!

Truth be told, there has been an ongoing debate for centuries—which is better for pain and injury recovery: cold therapy or hot therapy? And today, it’s time to demystify it once and for all! Although we began last week with " The Arthritis and Its Physiotherapist "—and yes, we’ll continue exploring that topic—understanding this battle and knowing who the real winner is will help you manage your body better. So, sit back, relax, and let’s finally uncover the truth! Let’s Get Creative for a Moment… Take a nostalgic walk back to childhood. Who remembers those moments when, as kids, we fell, hit our heads, or bumped our knees—only to end up with a swollen lump on our foreheads? (Take a smile if you were one of the ‘forehead bumpers’!) What happened next? Your mother or guardian rushed in, cradled you in their lap, and out came that small, red-labeled hot balm bottle—whether it was Robb, Aboliki, or another strong-smelling ointment. Or she could even dab that place with something...

An Unwanted Guest After Exercises

Exercise is supposed to be the ultimate stress reliever, right? The thing that makes you feel invincible, like you can take on the world. For fitness enthusiasts, it’s pure joy—a dose of happy hormones and the thrill of progress. But for the rest of us mere mortals? Exercise can sometimes leave us feeling like we’ve been hit by a truck. Why? Because you wake up the next day and—surprise!—you’re sore all over. Your arms feel like noodles, your legs are protesting every movement, and even lifting your morning coffee feels like a workout. Sound familiar? Welcome to the not-so-glamorous world of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: The Silent Saboteur of New Year Resolutions Just like the name says, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is that delayed soreness that creeps in after rest—usually after putting your muscles through more work than they’re used to. It doesn’t hit right away. No, DOMS is sneakier than that. It waits a day or two before announcing i...

YOU ARE ROYALTY, ACT LIKE ONE!

Many people do not know this… Being born into a family - as a twin or an individual does not mean you would have the same experiences.  Imagine a John Doe family - with a father, a mother, and three children. The three children create their own families and have their kids, and then the family tree continues. Yet with all the generations, there is a history of low back pain - perhaps from a particular age or across a gender. What's going through your mind? It's probably a family thing, right? We would agree with you, but we dare to tell you that research has proven that while it could be a genetic factor (such as disc degeneration) or an instability of their spine that predisposes them to low back pain - there might also be other reasons. For more information on the other causes of low back pain - kindly wait for subsequent posts. There is also the probability that while the low back pain in The Doe family is genetic, some individuals would never experi...
