Surprising Ways Arthritis Can Impact Your Health

The common connection among all types of arthritis is that your joints are involved. Regardless of the kind of arthritis you have, you’re likely to be surprised by how it affects other elements of your overall health in addition to your joints.

Signs You’re Not Working Out with Proper Form

Exercise is good for nearly everyone. But, to avoid injury, it’s crucial to make sure you’re using proper form when you exercise. Here, we offer some advice to help you recognize when your form needs improvement.

Why Your Posture Matters

Good posture is important — and not just for appearances. Practicing good posture helps keep your spine and body healthy and can mean less pain over time. Sitting, standing, or moving your posture matters.
