As the temperature drops, many Kiwis notice a familiar ache creeping back into their joints or muscles. If your knees start grumbling, your back stiffens in the morning, or that old injury feels more noticeable in winter, you're not imagining it.
Research shows two in every three people with osteoarthritis say cold weather worsens their symptoms. It’s not just in your head – the drop in temperature, damp air, and change in pressure that can make joints ache.
What You Can Do to Stay Comfortable
Here are a few tried-and-true tips to stay on top of winter aches:
-
Keep warm – Dress in layers, use heat packs, or take a warm shower to loosen up stiff areas.
-
Stay gently active – Regular movement helps keep joints lubricated and muscles supple. You don’t have to run marathons – even a brisk walk, stretching, or some light yoga can help.
-
Listen to your body – If something’s sore, don’t push through blindly. Rest, adjust your activity, and give yourself time to recover.
-
Use a natural muscle rub – This is where Omrub comes in!
