Discover how exercise can be the superior solution to joint pain compared to pills and surgery.
Joint pain, like osteoarthritis, is common but not inevitable. It can be managed with the right lifestyle choices.
Pills and surgery should not be the first response; movement provides the most effective therapy for joint issues.
Exercise protects joints by strengthening muscles and cartilage, thereby improving mobility and overall well-being.
Many patients aren't referred to physiotherapy, despite its benefits. Less than half receive this essential treatment.
Over 60% of patients receive non-recommended treatments, and about 40% are sent to surgery too early.
Cartilage needs movement; just like a sponge, it absorbs nutrients through compression to stay healthy.
Osteoarthritis is a complex condition involving cycles of wear and repair, not merely 'wear and tear'.
Muscle weakness is an early warning sign; resistance training can significantly slow down joint pain progression.
Programs such as GLA:D® improve balance and stability, enhancing confidence in physical abilities.
Regular exercise can reduce inflammation and positively influence harmful molecular activities in joints.
Obesity increases joint pain risk, not only due to weight but also through inflammatory factors.
Surgery should be a last resort; exercise is essential for prevention and treatment at every stage.
