Joint Healing and Improved Flexibity(Updated and Enhanced Version)

Updated to include an automated yoga workout. Also to heal and strengthen the joints, calves, hip flexors, tendons, bones. And reduce any swelling or inflammation present not only in the joints but the entire body.

Our joints are like shock absorbers and overtime they can wear down. This can be quite painful. Not only as a result of old age but for those who train and train hard, it adds up.  So I’m sitting here with ice on my knees listening to a bunch of things to help. And I thought I should make a field. I bet you I’m not the only one with this problem. So I started doing some research. Most fields work on the joints themselves. But this field aims to heal the joints, cartilage and surrounding muscles and bone. All this should give you an overall healing effect that will allow you to train with intensity or just finally to enjoy that afternoon stroll with a partner    “Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered a way to regenerate, in mice and human tissue, the cushion of cartilage found in joints.Loss of this slippery and shock-absorbing tissue layer, called articular cartilage, is responsible for many cases of joint pain and arthritis, which afflicts more than 55 million Americans. Nearly 1 in 4 adult Americans suffer from arthritis, and far more are burdened by joint pain and inflammation generally.The Stanford researchers figured out how to regrow articular cartilage by first causing slight injury to the joint tissue, then using chemical signals to steer the growth of skeletal stem cells as the injuries heal. The work was published Aug. 17 in the journal Nature Medicine.“ Cartilage has practically zero regenerative potential in adulthood, so once it’s injured or gone, what we can do for patients has been very limited,” said assistant professor of surgery Charles K.F. Chan, PhD. “It’s extremely gratifying to find a way to help the body regrow this important tissue.” The work builds on previous research at Stanford that resulted in isolation of the skeletal stem cell, a self-renewing cell that is also responsible for the production of bone, cartilage and a special type of cell that helps blood cells develop in bone marrow. The new research, like previous discoveries of mouse and human skeletal stem cells, were mostly carried out in the laboratories of Chan and professor of surgery Michael Longaker, MD. Articular cartilage is a complex and specialized tissue that provides a slick and bouncy cushion between bones at the joints. When this cartilage is damaged by trauma, disease or simply thins with age, bones can rub directly against each other, causing pain and inflammation, which can eventually result in arthritis.” What this field aims to do is to mimic the effects of this to help heal and regenerate the joints, the cartilage and even the surrounding muscles.  * It also aims to reduce overall inflammation and increase flexibility making a must for athletes regardless of age
