ANECDOTE

Jeff's Hip Injury Led Avita Yoga

  • Jeff Bailey experienced a severe hip injury at 50 and discovered joints crave compression for healing.
  • This led him to develop Avita Yoga focusing on joint health rather than traditional muscle stretching.
ADVICE

Prepare Joints Before Surgery

  • Avoid rushing into joint replacement surgery; use targeted joint exercises to maintain and potentially delay surgery.
  • Preparing your body before surgery improves recovery success and speed.
INSIGHT

Joints Thrive on Compression

  • Joints love pressure which stimulates remodeling and cleansing, unlike muscles that don't really stretch.
  • Arthritis may be a toxic environment due to lack of proper joint use and compression.
