Our leg muscles, tendons, and ligaments are integral to living a healthy and happy lifestyle.
Aches and pains are often caused by lack of stretching and exercise. Over time your tendons and ligaments can get weak for a number of reasons. As a mom who juggles two kids, I know that I need my body to be strong and healthy in order to provide my family with all of the opportunities in life.
