Did You Know? Exercise Can Help Ease Arthritis Pain!
Many people think rest is best when arthritis pain flares up, but gentle, consistent movement can actually reduce pain and stiffness. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Keeps Joints Flexible & Reduces Stiffness:
Regular low-impact activities like walking, stretching, or swimming help maintain your range of motion. When joints stay flexible, pain and stiffness are less likely to build up.
2️⃣ Strengthens the Muscles Around Your Joints:
Exercise builds muscle strength, giving your joints better support and stability. This reduces pressure on the affected areas, helping you move more comfortably.
3️⃣ Improves Circulation & Reduces Inflammation:
Physical activity boosts blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients that promote healing. It also helps manage weight, which lessens strain on weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips.
Tip: Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new exercise routine. Gentle activities like yoga, tai chi, or water aerobics are excellent for people with arthritis.
