Do you struggle with joint pain that inhibits your ability to stay active? Conditions like arthritis, tendinopathy, and even just generalized inflammation in the joints can make everyday activities a challenge, let alone training or working out.

Staying sedentary and losing fitness due to pain can lead to other issues down the line, such as a weakened musculoskeletal system, a decline in energy, and decreased longevity. The long and short of it? Joint pain does not have to stand in the way of staying active and fit.

Due to both the symptoms of seasonal allergies, and the physiological process your body goes through when reacting to an allergen, your health can suffer more than usual during this time of year.
