You sit too much and your back hurts. You get up and down a lot and your knees hurt. Or your neck or hips ache regularly.<\/h2>\n<p>These aches and pains in your joints or back are common. A joint is the connection between two bones. It lets you move. But it can also be a pain point. There are things that can help you take care of your back and joints to help prevent pain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Watch your weight and eat healthy foods.<\/li>\n<li>Keep stretching and exercising, and always wear protective gear as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Build your muscles for better joint support.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t do too much.<\/li>\n<li>Perfect your posture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Back and joint pain can stem from many different causes. Some pain might come from simply not moving enough, or from moving in the wrong way. Other pain comes from arthritis, injuries and other conditions that can cause serious joint damage at any age. If the damage is bad enough, the pain can interfere with your daily activities.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing joint or back pain that\u2019s new to you, talk to your doctor. They can help you decide what you can safely do to help your problem. For many people, stretching or exercise are good options. But you need to do it the right way.<\/p>\n<h3>Stretch It Out<\/h3>\n<p>Wherever your pain is coming from, there is one thing that helps most people: Stretching. Simple stretches done correctly can help ease joint and back pain and stiffness, while boosting flexibility and balance. That can help you move better. It can also ease muscle tension and improve your posture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. We need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Otherwise, muscles shorten and become tight. That can make the muscles weak, which puts you at risk for joint pain, strains and muscle damage,\u201d\u00a0says\u00a0<a title=\"Harvard Health\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/the-importance-of-stretching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard Health<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stretching is also helpful, especially for people with arthritis, because it lubricates your joints. And it helps you maintain the full movement of your joints.<\/p>\n<p>Stretching also helps your body before and after exercise. Because it increases your flexibility and improves your ability to move easily, it can help reduce the risk of injury.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Stretching<\/h3>\n<p>How often should you stretch? A few stretches every day is best. Aim for at least three stretches four times a week.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure where to start? Harvard Health says you don\u2019t need to stretch every muscle every time to benefit. Some areas provide more benefit than others for easing pain. Stretching your lower body \u2014 calves, thighs, hip flexors and lower back \u2014 can help your whole body. Shoulder and neck stretches are also good ways to ease tension, pain and stiffness. And of course, carefully stretch any other areas where you have pain or stiffness.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a title=\"American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons\" href=\"https:\/\/orthoinfo.aaos.org\/en\/staying-healthy\/warm-up-cool-down-and-be-flexible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0offers these tips for stretching:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget to warm up your muscles before you stretch. Stretching cold can hurt your muscles. Start very slowly or try a few minutes of light aerobic exercise to get warmed up.<\/li>\n<li>Always start slowly and move gently. Then relax and hold your stretch \u2014 10 to 30 seconds is good.<\/li>\n<li>Do not bounce. That can cause injuries.<\/li>\n<li>Remember, stretching should not hurt. If you feel pain, stop and relax.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Read the full article, <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.bcbstx.com\/health-and-wellness\/b\/weblog\/posts\/stretch\">Easing Joint Pain<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Did you know Hinge Health is available with your medical plan and can help you with chronic pain?<br \/><\/strong>With Hinge Health, you can get virtual physical therapy and more from real people who are dedicated to helping you feel your best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specialized care, personalized for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A care plan designed for your everyday activities and long-term goals \u2014 and to treat multiple areas of your body at once.<\/li>\n<li>Access exercise therapy sessions you can do in as little as 15 minutes \u2014 anytime, anywhere with the Hinge Health app.<\/li>\n<li>Get 1-on-1 support from a physical therapist or health coach to tailor your sessions as needed and help you reach your goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To check for eligibility visit,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hingehealth.com\/for\/tamus\/?template_name=popackage&amp;utm_medium=digitalpackage&amp;utm_source=client&amp;utm_campaign=bob&amp;mailformat=flyer_signage_blurb&amp;experience=e4e&amp;sequence=1\">hinge.health\/tamus-join<\/a>.
