In an active lifestyle, joint health is a top priority. Your joints—hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists—allow you to perform sports and daily activities and are needed to move and thrive. Over time, an active lifestyle may lead to wear and tear—the eventual breakdown of protective cartilage—causing friction in the joints. This friction ultimately results in joint pain and injury.
