Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Why Your Joints Hurt

A lot of common joint problems—like shoulder pain, carpal tunnel, or plantar fasciitis can actually come from imbalances in how our muscles work, not just wear and tear. When certain muscles are overused or stuck in the same position too long, they start to pull differently, which can throw off how our joints move and feel.

It highlights how simple movements and daily habits can help reset that balance. From easy hand exercises to tips for shoulder and back pain, it offers practical ways to feel better and move more freely. There’s also helpful advice for spotting early signs of scoliosis in kids, which can make a big difference down the road.
