Your body is made of many different parts. Each part has an important job to do. The parts work together to keep you alive and healthy.
Your body can run, jump, skip and hop. This is because the bones and muscles inside you work together to make your body move.
It is easy to understand how hard daily life can be when the bones, joints, soft tissues like muscle or ligaments, doesn’t work well.
Bone
Bones form the structure of your body. They allow you to stand, sit, run, play, and twist yourself up like a pretzel. Without them, you’d be nothing but a big soft blob! Some bones, like your rib cage and pelvis, protect your internal organs. Muscles attached to your bones allow you to move. Bones manufacture blood cells and store fat and calcium, a mineral that keeps bones strong.
Joints
Joints are formed where two bones join together, so that you can move. Without joints, you’d be stiff as a board! Joints have layers – cartilage, ligaments, and other padding – which act as shock absorbers so the bones don’t scrape together. A joint is protected by a joint capsule. The joint capsule is full of fluids that lubricate the joint and help your bones move smoothly.
At times, the cartilage may damage and resulted your bones scraping together causing so much pain.
Tendons and ligament
Two types of fibres connect bones and muscles to each other: tendons and ligaments. Both are tissue, but each has a different function.
Tendons anchor muscle to bones. When the muscle contracts, or shortens, the joint and tendons bend – and the bone moves.
A ligament is a strong band of tissue that holds two bones together without stretching. Since ligaments don’t stretch, their position at the front of the hip keeps the hip joint in place and makes sure it doesn’t bend too far back when you stand up.
Any injury to the above soft tissue may also cause pain to your body. Check with our doctor if you suspect you are experiencing pain to your joints.
