3 Mistakes People With Joint Pain Make

If you’re a woman over 40 having frustrating joint pain, you could be making these three mistakes.

Joint pain can significantly impact your daily life, so let’s make sure you’re not making these three common mistakes!

Lack of Movement: One common mistake is not moving enough.

Some women believe that resting their joints will alleviate pain, but inactivity can worsen stiffness and discomfort.

Gentle movement and low-impact exercises, like yoga, tailored to promote joint flexibility and mobility without exacerbating pain can make you feel much better!

Neglecting Muscle Strengthening: Another common mistake is not prioritizing muscle strengthening.

Strong muscles provide better support to joints, reducing stress and so reducing pain.

It’s therefore super important to incorporate strength training exercises like weight training or yoga for strength into your exercise routine to build muscle around the joints, improving stability, lessening pain and reducing the risk of injury.

Ignoring Stretching: Lastly, many women overlook the importance of stretching in joint pain management.

Stretching helps maintain flexibility, preventing muscles and tendons from becoming tight and exacerbating joint discomfort.

By avoiding these three mistakes, you can relieve or reduce your joint pain, improving your quality of life and overall well-being so you can keep on doing all the things you love to do!
