surgery in the future, then you’re going to have to get moving, says Justus J. Fiechtner, MD, MPH, head of rheumatology at Michigan State University.
A terrific method to begin moving is extending, which is not something just professional athletes need to do prior to a competition.

Presently, there are over 70 million individuals who struggle with some type of arthritis according to Erin Rohan O’Driscoll, RN, MA, the author of Exercises for Arthritis. She reports that the indication of arthritis are periodic or constant joint pain, tightness in a joint after rising or after prolonged sitting, swelling or tenderness in several joints, and a crunching sensation or the sound of bone rubbing on bone.

Some studies show that workout can reduce arthritis pain. Tufts University finished a strength-training program with moderate to extreme knee osteoarthritis. This sixteen- week program showed that strength training reduced discomfort by a massive 43% and comparable results of this training have been seen in clients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Jeff Cleveland believes in the Tufts University program and further states that, “If you experience arthritis, you may want to attempt extending, strength training, and aerobic conditioning,” he says.
Stretching works to combat the tightness and loss of movement in the joint. “People with harming joints will stagnate those areas. If you do not move it, you’ll lose movement and this will make any type of workout excruciating,” specifies Cleveland.

Arnold, rheumatologist and director of the Complementary Medicine Program at the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute in Des Plaines.
Dr. Arnold even more asserts that individuals with arthritis don’t exercise to get in shape; they get in shape to exercise. Dr. Arnold believes in enhancing the muscles around the joint to eventually reduce the discomfort.
Cleveland warns, “You don’t wish to feel discomfort with any exercise since there’s no gain with pain.”
Specialists state to start slowly and carefully and advise clients with presumed arthritis talk with a medical professional about starting a program with a physical therapist.
