When your joints ache, everything in you says, “Stop. Rest. Protect yourself,” and it feels like the sensible thing to do.

According to Deborah Atkinson – strength and conditioning coach to women in midlife for four decades – it may be the worst thing you can do because lack of motion may be driving the problem.

Counter to expectation, it’s often lack of mobility in the joint above or below the “problem joint” that’s at play, she says.  For example, the lower back pain can be caused by a stiff upper back stealing rotation from the lower back it was never designed to provide.

The knee pain flaring on the stairs may trace back to a hip that stopped moving properly years ago. The slow shuffle your grandparents walked with may have started quietly at the ankle, long before anyone noticed.

For women, the problem accelerates sharply from age 30 onward, as falling estrogen quietly dismantles collagen, inflames connective tissue, and begins shrinking the range of motion that most people assume is just an inevitable part of growing old.

It isn't, says Atkinson. Relief can come without medication or gym membership, through a simple 5 minute routine – if you know which three joints to target.

Speaking with “<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/vital-signs">Vital Signs</a>” host Brendon Fallon, Atkinson names them – and shows exactly what to do.
