Joint Pain? Let’s Get You Feeling Better!
Did you know more than 350 million people worldwide, including 50 million Americans, have some type of arthritis—a number that translates to nearly one-in-five adults?! It's an extremely common condition that affects the joints.
For many years, the recommendation was that individuals with arthritis should limit activity, and, for the most part, confine that activity to the pool. Now, however, there is a ton of research that validates the beneficial effects of a variety of exercise modalities in managing arthritis.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), exercise is as essential for individuals with arthritis as it is for anyone else. This recommendation from the ACSM is that people with arthritis who exercise regularly have less pain, more energy, and improved function. Specifically, exercise helps keep bones and cartilage tissue healthy and strong, helps keep joints from becoming stiff, helps enhance the level of strength around the joints, and helps improve the overall level of fitness.
