The term "musculoskeletal" refers to the system in the body that includes the muscles, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. This system is essential for movement, stability, and support. It allows the body to perform various activities, from walking and running to lifting and bending. Musculoskeletal disorders can affect any part of this system, leading to pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Common conditions include arthritis, fractures, and sprains. Maintaining a healthy musculoskeletal system is important for overall well-being and can be supported through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and good posture.
