Carrying around luggage and equipment, such as a laptop bag, rucksack or suitcase filled with travel essentials, can present an added challenge for your trip, especially on days where fatigue and joint pain is already high.
Solution
It’s important to remember to prioritise joint protection when you’re travelling. To do this, you should try to take a preventive approach and manage how you’re loading your joints.
Using ergonomically designed luggage and travel accessories could be a potential solution.
If you’re travelling alone, it’s also a good idea to think about where your luggage will be stored during transport. Keep in mind that you might need to ask for help if your luggage needs to be kept in an overhead locker, for example.
