Why painful arthritis is preventable, and learn the two steps needed to live a healthy, pain free life again
Arthritis in the hands, elbows, shoulders, hips, and knees can be debilitating. It affects our ability to exercise, and ultimately our well-being. As the effects of arthritis take hold, it can greatly affect us physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
We often accept the fact that the arthritis is only cured through medicine, surgery, or injections. However, that doesn't have to be the case.
Athritis is often due to painful swelling and irritation. When a joint doesn't move as it should, it can cause irregular sliding and wear that causes inflammation in the joint.
As we age, our joints and muscles become weaker, the bones start to get out of alignment. When we walk or do cardio, this can often cause more swelling when the joints aren't moving as they should. It can set us back even further, as we need to rest the joints to heal. And the cycle continues through continuously weaker joints.
Is there a solution?
The first step in overcoming arthritis is to ensure proper mobility and movement in the joints. This can only be done through strengthening and following biomechanically correct exercises. This allows the joint to move correctly, causing less irritation.
The next step is to proper and effective strength training. If weakness got us into the arthritis predicament in the first place, strengthening is the only way out. Small weights and free weights or doing exercises at home aren't sufficient to get back on track. You'll need to include the latest technology and guided personalized training for you to allow you to become stronger and healthier. When done correctly, you don't need to (or want to!) spend hours working out. The only facilities that specialize in this have professional staff and the correct protocol to get you back on track.
By incorporating these two shifts, you will live a healthy fuller life, and begin to enjoy feeling yourself again, so you can be the best for your family and friends!
