Joint Health for the Long Haul
Protect your mobility with these evidence-informed strategies for joint maintenance.
Preserving Mobility
Joint health is not about avoiding use, but about smart loading. Movement lubricates the joints and promotes the health of cartilage and surrounding connective tissues.
Mobility vs. Flexibility
Focus on mobility work—which involves control throughout a range of motion—rather than just static stretching. Exercises like deep squats and thoracic rotations ensure that your joints stay healthy as you age.
The Importance of Strength
Strong muscles support the joints. By building strength around the knee, hip, and shoulder, you offload stress from the joints themselves, reducing the risk of injury and chronic pain.
Nutrition for Repair
Collagen, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids play a role in maintaining connective tissue integrity. Focus on a balanced diet to provide the nutrients necessary to keep your structural system resilient.
