Many people report increased joint pain during the cold season. This is due to the physiological changes that occur in the body when the temperature drops.
Vasoconstriction
Cold slows down blood circulation, which causes the joints to receive less oxygen and nutrients.
Changes in tissue pressure
Lowering the temperature can affect the joint fluid, reducing its elasticity and increasing the feeling of stiffness.
Increased sensitivity of nerve endings
In the cold, pain receptors become more sensitive, especially in the presence of chronic joint diseases.
How to reduce discomfort
• Maintain moderate physical activity;
• avoid hypothermia;
• Pay attention to warm-up and stretching;
• Use warm water treatments.
During the cold season, the swimming pool and spa areas are especially in demand at the Novaya Istra Resort, which help to gently warm up joints and reduce tension.
