Mobility relies on the body’s two largest joints, the hips and knees.
We ask a lot of both these joints: they must bear our full weight and coordinate movement over a lifetime of standing, walking, running, dancing, and sports. Not surprisingly, hip and knee pain are common complaints, and nearly everyone who lives into old age can expect some trouble with these joints.
But taking care of your hips and knees and managing any pain that arises will help you avoid losing mobility as you age.
