Winter in the Scottish Highlands can be stunning..
..but it can also be tough on your body. Sub-zero temperatures, icy paths, and shorter days make staying active more difficult. At Alba Physiotherapy, we specialise in Highlands physiotherapy and Pilates, helping local residents stay strong, flexible, and pain-free during the colder months. Whether you need support with musculoskeletal (MSK) issues, postural problems, joint replacement recovery, neurological rehabilitation, arthritis, or slips and falls prevention, we’re here to help.
The cold weather can make joints stiff, muscles tense, and everyday movement harder—especially if you’re recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions like arthritis. That’s where Pilates and physiotherapy can make a real difference. Pilates strengthens your core, improves posture, and increases flexibility. Physiotherapy helps relieve pain, restore mobility, and reduce the risk of winter-related injuries, including slips and falls.
At Alba Physiotherapy, we offer a range of services to keep you moving safely and comfortably all winter:
-
MSK and Postural Therapy: Relieve back, neck, and joint pain, improve posture, and restore mobility.
