Unlocking Longevity: Keys to a Longer Life
Providers from Tennova Healthcare join us at the Y each month to present relevant health information.
August Topic: The Freedom of Movement: Keys to Joint Health
One of the largest and most complex joints of the body, the knee is crucial to movement, which means protecting knee joints should be a priority. Our knees make it possible for us to walk, jump, dance, pedal a bicycle, climb steps or ladders, kick balls or tires, squat to sit, or bend to lift a child – all while bearing the weight of our bodies. The knee is also one of the joints most prone to pain, injury and many forms of arthritis. If we live long enough, most will experience knee problems at some point. But there are ways to minimize the impact of knee problems. At this event, Dr. O’Brien will discuss how to practice a healthy lifestyle and good body mechanics that can help reduce the risk of injury and arthritis.
Snacks will be provided!
