Carrying extra weight affects joints as it increases wear due to extra loading. Fat tissue is also inflammatory which makes osteoarthritis worse. Pain, stiffness and joint damage are all reduced when weight is lower.

Even walking increases the load on knees by 50%, climbing stairs or running by much more. Extra weight also affects the way we walk, this may lead to further foot, ankle, knee and hip pain.

Back pain often responds well to weight loss as there is less pressure on discs.

Hips degenerate faster with extra weight leading to pain and stiffness.

Losing weight helps mobility and exercise maintains muscle function which supports joints. As you lose weight your posture improves which helps back pain and improves the way you walk.
