Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulis) Frozen shoulder refers to a condion where a capsule of connecve ssue around the shoulder joint shrinks causing a lack of movement in the shoulder. It can occur suddenly and oen with no previous history of shoulder problems, commonly in people aged 45 and over and oen in diabec paents. Frozen shoulder will usually improve but healing is slow (up to 2 years). Osteopathic treatment is very helpful in the management of this condion as paents will oen stop moving their shoulder due to fear of pain and the neck and ribcage is oen painful because of compensatory movement paerns. Treatment involves restoring maximal range of movement to the shoulder and exercise advice.

On launching FIT Friends owners Di & Nic combined their professions of exercise physiologist and counsellor to provide a total wellbeing package for their members. What they offer is vastly different from the usual commercial gym and is ideally suited to the older adult market. There are never more than 12 people in the gym, assuring each member receives personal aenon and guidance meaning that a FIT Friends programme appeals to those who may never have set foot in a gym, or those who feel nervous or lack confidence when giving exercise a try.

FIT Friends is designed to be inclusive and friendly, so as a member you not only get fit you can also find new friends. There are now 50 small group classes to choose from at the Studio (Acve Aims on the Rushes in Loughborough) 15 of which are specifically designed for older adults and with never more than 4 people and 1 Personal Trainer per class, FIT Friends really does feel like your own personal gym! So, whether you are over a certain age, had joint replacement surgery, suffered a stroke or heart aack, struggle with long term illness or have just never tried exercise, FIT Friends has something to suit you. Janet, a current Fit Friends member explains: “At the age of 72, never having set foot in a gym in my life before, my sister and I joined FIT Friends. We aend the O.pmise sessions, designed to help us remain acve and independent. In our small group, we work on strengthening the muscles that support our ageing joints, core strength and balance, helping in the prevenon of falls and joint surgery. I suffer from osteoarthris and my sister has fibromyalgia (a debilitang condion which can severely affect mobility) but as we work in such a small group the qualified, friendly personal trainers are able to make small adjustments to the exercises to suit our individual ailments and abilies. Working in a small group with people of a similar age and ability is so much beer than aending a large, impersonal gym with lile or no guidance and the embarrassment of working out alongside young, fit, bodybuilders! Being pensioners, we did not think having a personal trainer would be affordable, but with FIT Friends we use the ‘Off Peak Credits” and pay only £40 a month, giving us 5 sessions every month.

PAIN In your feet, heels, knees, back or leg muscles? There could be many causes most common is a shorter leg! – and somemes misaligned bone structure in the feet. Surprisingly, it could have been present for years and is only just becoming painful especially as more people are now exercising or running. Check the soles of your shoes, can you see uneven wear to the sides? And from behind – do they ‘lean’ over? This can be easily fixed within 30 minutes. Consult a Podiatrist specialising in Biomechanics and a simple correcve insole can be made in minutes transforming your posture and reducing pain. Self help – don’t blindly buy an offtheshelf insole and as most correcons are made to the forefoot – don’t buy a ¾ length insole. Alan Postlethwaite
