Ok, if you want to assume the worst, I guess you’ll assume I’m lying too. Doesn’t bother me, I’m just describing good things.

I was a wildland firefighter, and eventually suffered an it band tear. Im almost 40 and after lots of PT I paid a lot of money for, I’m happy to be running long distances again and certainly jumping or whatever. Prior to that I worked landscaping and field surveying.

Believe what you want, health and wellness is possible for almost anyone. Aside traumatic injury (surgery, recovery, etc), wellness routines are accessible to anyone. Cost is not the limiting factor. Age is DEFINITELY not the limiting factor. Of course when I say “age doesn’t matter, and wellness is accessible” I’m not speaking over those with traumatic injury or congenital issues.

Have a good one, however you want that statement.

Edit my post op rehab was a lot of sessions that cost money. most folks don’t need anything like that, just more movement and exercise. Motion is lotion.

Sure there are a few people with genetics that just give them shit joints/cartilage/etc, but most people that’s not the case, they just have to take the maintenance and strengthening of their joints as a discipline.

I’m not saying I k ow who is gonna need a replacement or not, I’m saying for the vast majority of folks, improved physical wellness is accessible and realistic, and that it’s habits (like office work) and choices (like not incorporating exercise and stretching, drinking alcohol, etc) that are the chief limiting factor. Not age.

Edit It’s totally possible that you are of the minority where physical wellness routines and physical therapy aren’t gonna cut it for you. Good luck
