Will losing weight help to reduce your pain?

Ask yourself this simple question. Would your current health and/or injury be improved if you lost weight? Please be honest!!

For some people, and some conditions, the answer will be “no”.  However, if you’re being totally honest with yourself, the answer may be “YES!”, especially if you suffer from lower back pain, or any lower limb injury (hip, knee, ankle pain) where EXTRA WEIGHT = EXTRA LOAD ON YOUR JOINTS and MUSCLES.  Carrying extra weight not only adds more load on those joints, but it can also affect your posture and therefore contribute to problems in the neck and shoulders.
