Balance and cardio follow along: https://youtu.be/i85xC8pWTEI 

Balance is incredibly important when it comes to not only feeling more confident on uneven surfaces but also when searching for osteoarthritis pain relief. Oftentimes I find balance is left out from exercise routines. Even if it is included, just simply being able to stand on one leg may not be enough to unlock confidence while adventuring or to allow for significant pain relief. In this episode you’ll hear some balance examples as well as why it’s important to include in your daily routine.

Watch the video on joint pain and menopause here: https://youtu.be/J3soH57W1AU

I was joined by Elizabeth Ward, a registered dietitian and co-author of The Menopause Diet Plan as we discussed all things joint pain, menopause, and food! She answered: 

1. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve found in the research around menopause?
2. Is dairy something to avoid? 
3. Should gluten be avoided? 
4. What is the best thing to focus on when it comes to weight loss and menopause?
5. Rules of thumb for the amount of foods to be eating 

Food is so incredibly important when it comes to managing joint pain related to osteoarthritis. Menopause can actually trigger joint pain as well due to decreasing estrogen levels. It is so important to place priority not just on food but on exercise as well!

If you want to be able to do stairs like you used to- this is the episode for you.

If you want to easily walk up stairs and do it without pain- this is the episode for you. 

Your ability to climb stairs says a lot about your strength and your pain levels believe it or not, according to the research. 

Read the blog post here diving into all things stair climbing and osteoarthritis: https://keeptheadventurealive.com/is-stair-climbing-good-for-osteoarthritis/

It is possible to go to football stadiums and climb a million stairs again. It is possible to go on vacation and not have to worry if there will be stairs or not. The only way to do this though, is to get started….

Not medical advice. Try at your own risk.

As a physical therapist and arthritis specialist, I know that finding pain relief from osteoarthritis is not easy. If you are feeling stuck or spinning your wheels without success with pain relief- I’m glad you’re here. 

One of the biggest challenges I see in osteoarthritis care is actually understanding what causes your pain because this is the gateway to finding solutions. Pain can be triggered by inflammation but there are many things that contribute to inflammation. 

Instead of searching for the best supplements, trying every pain relief cream out there, and even trying every exercise program- it’s so important to understand what is contributing to YOUR pain. This specific plan is mapped out inside the Arthritis Adventure Blueprint.
