The Wellness Center for Bone and Joint Health

Last week, we visited the community at Hazelwood Towers to provide our FREE bone and joint health screenings! 💪

Residents had the opportunity to complete:
• Grip strength testing 💪
• Balance screenings ⚖️
• Nutrition assessments 🥗
• Bone density screenings 🦴

Events like these help us bring bone and joint health resources directly into the community and empower people to stay active and independent. ✨

Today is International Women's Day 💜

It’s a time to celebrate the strength and achievements of women — and a reminder to prioritize bone and joint health. Women are at a higher risk for conditions like osteoporosis, making movement, strong nutrition, and early evaluation especially important.

Staying active and informed helps women remain strong, mobile, and independent for years to come.

Why does grip strength matter?⬇️

Grip strength is an excellent indicator of your overall health. 💪🏼

Weak grip strength may mean:
• Decreased muscle strength
• A higher risk of falls or injuries
• Increased risk of losing mobility and independence as you age

How can you improve your grip strength?

• Try farmer’s carries using dumbbells or even a water bottle or can of soup
• Squeeze a grip strength device or stress ball for 5 to 10 minutes, twice a day

Small, consistent efforts can make a big difference in your bone and joint health and long term mobility. 💪🦴
