How to protect your joints
Joints & Knee Pain   Common sense, proper movement and the use of protective apparatus can prevent incidences of joint injury.

Activities to help preserve your joints:

  • Perform a daily exercise routine that involves bending, stretching and extending joints and muscles based on normal everyday motions.
  • Maintain activities only to the point of endurance
  • Keep the body at an ideal weight
  • Use protective or assistive devices to safeguard your joints
  • Use the biggest and sturdiest joints available to help accomplish each particular task
  • Do not strain or use too much force on the minor joints of the hand
  • Shift position as often as needed to avoid overuse of joints
  • Stretch out a joint instead of contracting it
  • Avoid lifting heavy objects
  • If you can sit, do so
  • Request for assistance when needed
