Stretch break for your wrist💪🏻🙂

We have eight carpals attached to your radius and ulna that allow you to extend and flex at the wrist.
Do you have optimal wrist flexion of 90°?
Do you have optimal wrist, extension of 90°?

If the answer is no, it is time to reclaim your wrist range of motion! Start with this exercise to better understand what angle of your wrist needs your attention💪🏻🤓

**A Note for My Post-Menopausal Readers:
Did you know that post-menopause sees the highest rates of frozen shoulders and knee replacements in women?
The regression of estrogen ultimately decreases lubrication in the joints, making proactive joint care even more important during activities like long drives.

Ready to Address Your Knee Pain?
Often, general knee pain stems from an ankle or hip misalignment rather than the knee itself. Feel free to book an appointment to realign your body before or after your next road trip—your knees will thank you!

“Welcome to the Age of Bad Knees”

As a Kinesiologist, I will not accept that statement.

I was recently on the phone reconnecting with the woman who made my website (shoutout )! She had just returned to Toronto after an epic drive from Mexico, and when we met for her session this week, she told me she wanted to focus on her knees.
With no structural issues present, how do we decrease knee pain?

Leaning into the Roadtrip Protocol

Her comment made me laugh—because I’ve been experiencing the same thing. After 5 hours of driving in my Mini Cooper (no cruise control to give me relief), my knees were letting me know they weren’t happy.
It got me thinking: a road trip is essentially an endurance activity. You’re sitting for hours with your foot on the gas pedal in semi-plantar-flexion, hip locked in flexion, with minimal movement. No wonder our knees protest!
With Thanksgiving around the corner and road trips on the horizon, my plan is simple: arrive ready to enjoy the destination—not nursing the irony of a vacation that causes knee pain.
Why Does Driving Strain the Knees?
Driving requires constant pressure on the gas pedal with limited movement while your hip stays in a flexed position. This prolonged static posture reduces circulation, decreases joint lubrication, and creates stiffness in the surrounding muscles and connective tissue.
