With GlideTrak you can get the gain … without the pain!
Pain, particularly in joints, is associated with a wide variety of Orthopedic conditions. Pain directly affects mobility and the ability to exercise. In moderate cases, pain is only an issue when exercising and during recover times. In severe cases, pain affects normal activities like walking or climbing stairs. In fact, among those with arthritis in lower limbs, only 1-in-6 can walk ¼ mile, and 1-in-9 can climb stairs (Source: Arthritis Foundation).
