How To Decelerate The Wearing Out Of Joints In Tall People?
I am 30 years old and about 200 cm tall. Since my mid-20s I have increasing orthopedic problems with hip and knee joints involved and also spinal troubles. I grew extremely fast and also have a weak bodybuilt. Other tall people which I know with the same issues. Is there anything very tall people can do (additionally to strengthening muscles) to decelerate the wearing out of our joints?
