May is recognized as both National Physical Fitness & Sports Month and National Arthritis Awareness Month, making it an ideal time to talk about one of the most important and often misunderstood aspects of musculoskeletal health: movement.

More adults are making movement and wellness a priority well into midlife and beyond, even as they notice changes such as slower recovery, reduced strength, or less energy. This is where the growing field known as Age Management Medicine is beginning to intersect with sports medicine.
