Thank You.

By January, many people are technically “better” but still feel flat. Energy is low, muscles feel tight, sleep is unsettled and motivation has not quite returned. This is common after winter colds and viruses. The body has been busy defending itself and recovery takes longer than most people expect. Why You Still Feel Tired After a Cold Even when symptoms pass, the body may still be: holding muscle tension running on low energy recovering immune strength dealing with poor circulation catching up on rest This can show up as stiffness, heaviness or a general lack of drive. Tip: Feeling tired does not mean you are unfit or failing. It means your body is still healing. What Helps the Body Recover Properly Warmth supports healing Heat helps muscles relax and improves circulation, which supports recovery. Gentle movement restores flow Light stretching and walking help the body regain rhythm without strain. Bodywork supports circulation and lymph flow Massage and hands-on therapies help release tension and support natural detox processes. Rest plus reset works better than rest alone The body recovers best when relaxation is combined with circulation and warmth. Tip: Focus on neck, shoulders and lower back first. These areas often hold tension during illness. January Is About Rebuilding, Not Pushing January is not the time to force energy back. It is a month for restoring it gradually. At MindBody Therapy Centre in Forest Hill , January is always about helping the body recover, reset and regain balance after winter strain. A Gentle Reminder If your body still feels heavy, stiff or tired, it is not lagging behind. It is asking for the final stage of care.
