All about Bones & Joints
The osteoarticular system is a true architectural masterpiece. Bones provide support and strength to the body's structure, while joints enable movement, flexibility, and range of motion. Working closely with muscles, tendons, and ligaments, this musculoskeletal system allows us to walk, carry, squat, or bend over... It quite simply guarantees our freedom of movement.
Throughout our lives, we build and maintain our bone and joint capital. With age, a sedentary lifestyle, repeated stress, hormonal imbalances, and certain nutritional deficiencies, this balance can become fragile. Stiffness, joint discomfort, or loss of mobility can then appear and impact quality of life.
On this page, we offer you a better understanding of the workings of osteoarticular anatomy, the factors that influence its proper functioning, and several ways to preserve your mobility in the long term. Synergia describes how adapted physical activity, weight management, and nutrition, in particular, play a key role in maintaining strong bones and functional joints.
