Human joints are much more sophisticated than they appear.

They instantly adapt to different demands by changing the viscosity of the synovial fluid.

It thins for quick and easy movements to minimize friction.

For heavy loading, it thickens to pad the joints.

For extra protection, joint compression squeezes out more synovial fluid. When cartilage, the shock absorbing cushion between joints, is repeatedly squeezed and released, it gets pumped up with fluid. This increases and smoothes out the cartilage’s contact surface. As a result, the pressure on it is more even and spread out.

This is why scientists recommend that you move the soon to be loaded joints to make them less injury prone.
