Discover how shedding excess weight can reduce your risk of surgery and improve your overall mobility and quality of life, especially with expert guidance from PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP).
Why Weight Loss Matters for Joint Health
Carrying excess weight places significant stress on your joints, particularly the knees, hips, and lower back. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, inflammation, and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. For many, these issues culminate in surgical interventions such as knee or hip replacements.
But here’s the good news: you can prevent surgery through weight loss. Losing even 5–10% of your body weight can dramatically reduce joint pressure, improve mobility, and delay or eliminate the need for invasive procedures.
How PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP) Supports Your Journey
At PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP), we specialise in integrated physiotherapy and fitness programs designed to help you lose weight safely while strengthening your body. Our approach includes:
- Personalised Exercise Plans: Tailored workouts that focus on low-impact movements to protect joints while burning fat.
- Physiotherapy Support: Targeted treatments to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and restore function.
- Nutritional Guidance: Expert advice to help you make sustainable dietary changes that support weight loss and healing.
- Progress Tracking: Regular assessments to monitor your improvements and adjust your plan as needed.
The Science Behind It
Studies show that every pound of weight lost relieves about 4 pounds of pressure from your knees. That means losing just 10 pounds can take 40 pounds of stress off your joints. This reduction can significantly lower your risk of needing orthopedic surgery and improve your long-term joint health.
