❌ Wear & tear…❌
If you’ve been told your arthritis and your pain is caused by wear and tear, it essentially insinuates the damage is done and there’s nothing you can do about it 😔
But instead- the research continues to find out more and more 🤓
It’s much more complicated than originally though. But this is actually….
✅ GOOD NEWS ✅
There is more to pain than what your joint physically looks like on an X-ray meaning you can change your pain 👀
Don’t get me wrong- there is a time and a place for surgery but it isn’t the first thing you should try ☝🏽
Instead- research shows that there are so many other factors that can influence the sensitivity and the intensity of your pain levels 🙌🏼
The 3 main ones I’ve found after talking with hundreds of people with osteoarthritis and the 3 that can make the BIGGEST difference are:
1. Movement (what you’re doing, how often, variety)
2. Sleep quality (poor sleep can ⬆️ pain sensitivity)
3. Foods you’re eating 🍽️
If you want to know more about how to figure out which factors are influencing your pain the most and what to do about it- head to arthritisadventure.com ✅
I’ve put everything in one place for you to help you get started on your journey to unlocking the active life that may have slipped away 😞
Hundreds of people have been able to travel again, get back to hiking and actually keep up, and enjoy their life again without feeling weighed down by pain 🤩
Now it’s your turn. You won’t know what’s possible until you try ☝🏽
