Simple posture, movement and strengthening tips from our orthopedic specialist — and the red flags that need a checkup.
Knee and back pain are among the most common reasons people visit an orthopedic doctor. Long hours of sitting, weak muscles and extra weight put daily stress on joints.
Move a little every hour
Stand up and stretch every 45 to 60 minutes. Walking, swimming and cycling strengthen the muscles that support your joints without heavy impact.
Fix your posture
Keep your screen at eye level, your feet flat on the floor and your lower back supported. When lifting, bend your knees rather than your back.
Red flags
Pain after a fall, numbness or weakness in a leg, night pain, or swelling that does not settle should be examined promptly. Do not rely on painkillers alone.
