Tendons hate sudden changes. When load increases faster than the tissue can adapt, conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, or lower back spasms frequently follow. If you suddenly jump from light summer activity to high-intensity workouts, or from moving outdoors to sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day, you create a workload spike.
Even happy stress is still stress. During November and December, we often shift into “go-go-go mode”. We have more errands, more activities for the kids, more driving, more time indoors, and less time caring for our bodies in simple, grounding ways. Combine that with colder temperatures, which can increase muscle tension and make joints feel stiffer and your body is working harder than usual.
When temperatures drop, muscles and connective tissues tend to tighten. Cooler weather reduces circulation and makes our bodies less pliable, which can increase stiffness and discomfort. Massage Therapy can help manage and support these changes
