Thirty-Three More Insights (1-20)
1. Make preventing future troubles and pain a priority as well. 2. Minimize impact on your joints and the areas that you know cause pain and troubles for you by using them less, better or not at all (which is perhaps not good!). Move and utilize your moving parts, with moderation and without risk of injury or further degradation, damage. 3. Use your body and moving parts as it was meant to be used. Avoid undue, unnecessary or demand on your joints and surrounding areas. 4. Get tasks done effectively with the least amount of effort to conserve energy and to keep the impact on your joint minimal. 5. Use your muscles and joints as far as possible for what you need the bulk during the day. 6. Reduce any, all stress on/of your muscles, joints and avoid weariness if you can. Rest often *even when cleaning the house, doing chores or preparing meals. Alignment and posture absolutely matters a whole lot! This is one certainly way to protect your joints. Limit stretching to and beyond capacity, reaching, lunging etc. You have often heard of lift with your legs, bend properly and right when acquiring heavy objects… maybe your grandmother even told you to straighten your back, push out your chest and walk properly, proudly – she did you a monstrous favor, which you will benefit MORE from if you stick to it! The advice is solid and it works wonders! 7. Minimize activities and strain (typing, knitting, grasping, clutching, sorting with fingers) or associated movements that are repetitive and minute movements causing stiffness in your hands for example. 8. Canes, walking sticks, walkers, aides and devices can be extremely helpful, not just for the elderly, but to minimize the impact when walking, a quirky eccentric trick perhaps, but your health, joints and future will thank you! 9. Cushioned support when sitting, driving, traveling is also necessary and an ergonomic chair can also do wonders to relieve pain, if sitting at work. 10. Distribute weight, avoid carrying heavy things, long, far distances placing extra strain on your back, legs and joints for that matter. 11. Carry things closer to your body and prevent stiffness, contractions for prolonged times of time. 12. Plan your day and tasks carefully 13. Be efficient at what you put where, what you do when, multi-tasking and not over-stretching yourself 14. Organize your environment to minimize impact on your joints – make it functional and pain-care-free and friendly. 15. REST often! 16. Use handles, extenders, wheels, lightweight objects, alternatives and larger grab-hold surfaces, convenience and personal appliances and useful tools to cut down on repetitive tasks that can take their toll on your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and MORE! 17. Use your joints appropriately and sparingly – they have to last a lifetime! 18. Coordinate your movements, do some thai-chi 19. Velcro over buttons, elastics over cuffs, zippers and/or other closures for clothing and dressing 20. Comfortable shoes, supports, insoles, that fit well and provide comfort, support and function you need and demand |
