Motion supports lubrication
Joints rely on regular movement to stay nourished. Long periods of inactivity can increase stiffness, even in otherwise healthy bodies.
- Change positions frequently throughout the day.
- Use light range-of-motion exercises.
- Warm up gently before more active movement.
Choose comfort-first activities
Low-impact options are easier to repeat and often better tolerated long term. Consistency matters more than intensity.
- Walking, cycling, or swimming most days.
- Short stretching sessions in the morning or evening.
- Stop before discomfort turns into strain.
Wellness cue
Joints respond best to regular, gentle movement.
"Movement done daily is more powerful than movement done occasionally."
