“If I wasn’t so active, I wouldn’t be injured!” 🤕
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from patients of all ages and walks of life. Yes, some injuries do happen because of physical activity—whether it's from ⚽️ , workouts🏋️, or even chores around the house or yard 🍂. But that doesn’t mean we should avoid being active altogether.
Over the years, I’ve also seen plenty of patients who were very inactive—either for long periods or most of their lives. While they may not have injuries related to movement, they often deal with a wide range of other health issues that stem from inactivity.
💫The best approach? Stay active throughout your life. What that looks like may change as you age, but there’s always something you can do to move your body in a healthy, sustainable way.
🧠And remember: prevention is the best medicine. Warming up properly, stretching when needed, and listening to your body can help prevent many injuries before they start. Don’t ignore persistent pain—it’s your body’s way of asking for attention.
Physical activity does more than just keep your body strong 💪🏼—it supports your mental health, boosts your energy, and helps you feel younger, longer.
What type of physical activity keeps you feeling strong and healthy?
