Staying active is one of the best ways to support your bone and joint health. Movement helps keep muscles strong, improves balance, and supports long-term mobility.

- Choose low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling.
- Stretch before and after activity to protect joints.
- Listen to your body—if you feel pain, don’t push through it.

If you have ongoing joint pain, limited mobility, or questions about which activities are best for you, talk with your healthcare provider. They can guide you with safe and personalized options.

Your health, your movement, your future. 🏃‍♀️
