Have you ever experienced chronic low back pain or knee pain?
When our back or knee is in some discomfort we tend to stop the activities that work those areas. Rather than see it as an area of weakness that needs to get stronger.
If the muscles are weak they can’t properly support the joints, which can lead to some of the discomfort that you are experiencing. With that said, it’s important that we build up the strength in these muscles. To ensure the joints are properly supported and functioning well.
For instance, if holding a load by your chest and walking hurts your back or going up a small hill hurts your knees. We want to help you build up the strength to do those activities! One day you’ll have grandchildren, and you won’t want anything holding you back from making memories with them. Imagine being able to join in on their games, and go for long walks in the park. Do you want to be the grandparent that can keep up with their grandkids? Or the grandparent that can’t enjoy those little moments of joy with them, as your pain is holding you back?
I know it can be very frustrating when the pain flares up. I also understand that it may make you hesitant to engage in the activities you love. However, taking steps to address and strengthen these areas can make a big difference in your quality of life. By focusing on your back or knee health now, you’re investing in a future where you can fully enjoy the activities that matter most to you.
