🦴 Movement is medicine for your joints!
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain and stiffness, often making everyday activities feel like a challenge. But here’s the good news: the right kind of exercise can actually help relieve pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support your joints.

✨ Low-impact aerobic exercise (like walking, swimming, or cycling) to keep joints moving without extra strain.
✨ Strength training to support and protect vulnerable joints.
✨ Flexibility and mobility work to reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.

Movement not only reduces pain but also boosts energy levels, improves mood, and helps you maintain independence. With the right guidance, arthritis doesn’t have to slow you down - it can be managed with confidence.
