Movement Is Medicine: Why Staying Active Heals Your Body
We’ve all heard the phrase “movement is medicine,” but what does that really mean? Simply put, your body is designed to move, and staying active is one of the best ways to keep it strong, flexible, and pain-free.
When you move, your joints stay lubricated, your muscles stay strong, and your blood flow improves, delivering oxygen and nutrients to help your body heal. Whether it’s walking, stretching, or strength training, movement helps reduce stiffness, improve posture, and even lower stress.
Many people avoid movement when they’re in pain, but in most cases, gentle, controlled movement is exactly what your body needs to recover. Sitting too much or avoiding activity can actually make pain worse over time.
At Highland Spine and Sport, we focus on helping you move better so you can feel better. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, recovering from an injury, or just want to stay active, we tailor movement-based treatments to your needs.
If you’re unsure where to start, let’s create a plan together. Because the more you move, the better you feel!
