Dr Carmel Silke discusses the importance of exercise when living with arthritis!

“We know now that if you’re exercising your muscles stay strong. And then if they’re strong they support the joints. So the worst thing any of us can do is spend too long sitting. Because then our muscles get weaker and then we don’t have the support for our joints.” Dr Carmel Silke discusses the importance of exercise when living with arthritis. https://ow.ly/oNu250Wpe3J

Our thought of the fortnight;
In physiotherapy, pilates, or exercise every controlled breath , every mindful rep, builds strength, balance and resilience. Motion isn't just about doing more - it's about moving better, healing smarter, and creating lasting energy to enjoy the life you love!
