The warm sunshine and long days of summer make it the perfect time to get out and be active. However, with increased activity comes the risk of injury, especially joint pain. To help you stay healthy and avoid any injuries while enjoying all the fun that summer has to offer, Dr. John Ponti from Southcoast Health shared some tips on how to prevent joint pain during the summer months.
According to Dr. Ponti, it’s important to be prepared and take care of your joints before engaging in any outdoor activities. This includes warming up properly, using appropriate gear such as knee braces or ankle supports if needed, and taking breaks when necessary. It’s also important to listen to your body and stop any activity that causes pain or discomfort.
