When most people think about strength and health, they think of muscles and bones. But the real framework that keeps everything together is collagen. Often overlooked, collagen is the most abundant protein in your body — and it plays a critical role in movement, flexibility, and long-term tissue health. Whether you’re an athlete, someone dealing with chronic pain, or simply looking to stay mobile as you age, understanding collagen is the first step in protecting your body.
Collagen is everywhere in the body, but it’s especially concentrated in tissues that are constantly under stress:
When collagen breaks down — whether from age, injury, or conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) — the entire system feels the effects.
Collagen doesn’t just affect athletes; it impacts everyone. Weak or damaged collagen can lead to:
At the tissue level, collagen is the foundation. If that foundation isn’t healthy, no amount of muscle strength or joint stability can fully protect you.
In some cases, like with EDS, collagen fibers are fragile, leading to chronic instability, frequent injuries, or painful tension within ligaments and tendons. For others, collagen simply degrades over time, causing tissues to “wind up” or seize, leading to stiffness, reduced performance, and recurring injuries.
It’s not just about discomfort — weakened collagen can change the way you move, force other muscles to overcompensate, and set you up for bigger injuries down the road.
