Movement of a joint acts like a pump for synovial fluid. As the joint moves through its full range, pressure changes within the joint cavity stimulates synovial fluid. Passive Range of Motion: Stimulating Synovial Fluid for Joint Health This is where PROM enters the scene. These gentle movements, mimicking your dog’s natural range of motion, stimulate synovial fluid. As you move the joints through their full range, fresh synovial fluid is drawn in. The influx of lubrication reduces friction, eases pain, and nourishes the remaining cartilage, slowing its degeneration. The gentle movement also helps to: Maintain and improve joint flexibility: Regular movement prevents the formation of scar tissue and stiffness, keeping your dog’s joints mobile. The synovium is a soft tissue membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule. It is responsible for maintaining the volume and composition of the synovial fluid, predominantly by producing lubricin and hyaluronic acid.
