As we age several things happen:Normal wear and tear on our joints
decrease the cushions between our bones (i.e. meniscus in knee and discs in spine)
Changes to our spineThe discs can degenerate, creating a bone
on bone surface or it may alter the shape of the spine
![Page 6: Sharon Johnston, LAT, ATC, NSCA-CPT Head Athletic Trainer STARS SPORTS MEDICINE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f9498443c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Osteoarthritis can wear down the cartilage in your joints decreasing the joint space, compressing the disc *3
The normally smooth bone surfaces become rough and left untreated can lead to bone on bone *3

Spine Knees Shoulders These are just a few orthopedic (muscle
and bone) injuries. Other injuries are possible.We will just stick with these.
We may not be able to avoid the age factor and wear and tear, but we can change biomechanics and how we treat our bodies.

Remember Normal Disc Degenerated Disc Herniated Disc Thinning Disc
Bone Changes Varying mechanical loads can cause fractures Improper posture or poor flexibility can increase
the risk for injury Osteoporotic Changes
Mosby’s Medical Dictionary defines osteoporosis as- A DISORDER CHARACTERISZED BY ABNORMAL RAREFACTION OF BONE, OCCURING MOST FREQUENTLY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN, IN SEDENTARY OR IMMOBILIZED INDIVIDUALS, AND IN PATIENTS ON LONG-TERM STEROID THERAPY.
May cause pain, fractures, loss of stature, or deformities.

Think firstDo you need help?Try to move the box with your foot. If it
can’t be moved with your foot- GET HELP! Use good body awareness and
mechanics Have your work area inspected for
proper ergonomics (WORKSTAR- program)
Take a break to walk and stretch Change positions
