Florida heat + physical activity = extra strain on your joints and muscles. ☀️💧
Dehydration can reduce your body’s ability to cushion joints and cool down effectively, raising your injury risk.

Helpful reminders:
🔹 Drink water before you're thirsty
🔹 Replenish electrolytes if sweating heavily
🔹 Avoid intense activity during peak heat hours

Smart hydration is an essential part of injury prevention.

Arthritis isn’t just one condition—it’s an umbrella term for joint inflammation that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Over time, arthritis can wear down the smooth cartilage that cushions your joints, especially in high-impact areas like the knees, hips, and ankles.

Here’s what that can mean for your body:
🔹 Less shock absorption during movement
🔹 Increased friction between bones
🔹 Difficulty with everyday activities like walking or climbing stairs
While arthritis affects each person differently, early evaluation can help clarify what’s going on and guide your next steps.
Dr. James provides comprehensive assessments and partners with you to find the best path forward for your lifestyle and goals.
