Arthritis And The Importance Of Exercise

by Maria Kinsella

If you have joint pain caused by arthritis, exercise may be the last thing on your mind. However, moving the joints around is the best way to limit the pain in those joints and to keep your range of motion reasonably good.

You do not need to leave your home or learn complicated exercise routines to reduce the pain in your joints. The movements that will ease your pain are very simple and can be learned very quickly. It is easy to devise an exercise routine that will keep your joints from hurting and keep them flexible enough for you to go about your everyday activities.

Three main types of arthritis exercises should be used: range-of-motion or flexibility, strengthening, and overall fitness moves. Each kind is important to your health and well being but, range of motion exercises will ease muscle stiffness and work to keep your joints flexible most. Motion ranges pertain to the typical amount that your joints can move in specific directions.

Joints that are swollen and painful may take some time to limber up, but if you move them gently and patiently, you can eventually greatly increase your range of motion. A few simple exercises to improve flexibility are hip lifts, lower back rotations, back press and release, elbow bending, arm reaches, arm extensions and finger tip curls.

Once you work carefully with your physician to identify an exercise program that is right for you, try to do it twice daily. Each exercise should be done anywhere from 3 to 10 times. When you're moving, do it smoothly and gradually. Bouncing or jerking will do much more damage to your joints.

A lot of people don't think to breathe as they do their exercises for arthritis. It is beneficial to count your breaths out loud. It's normal to experience some discomfort when you begin, but stop immediately if you feel severe pain.

Maintaining daily activities, such as household chores, stair climbing, dressing, and so forth, are an important part of living with arthritis. However, these types of activities are not always enough. Building and following a routine of exercises designed specifically to address your arthritis and joint pain is essential to maximizing your pain reduction.

One of the best treatments for those who suffer from arthritis and joint pain is exercise. Although it may not sound like a pleasant prospect, getting those joints moving increases flexibility and will reduce discomfort in the long run. You do not need to leave your home or learn complicated routines to reduce the pain in your joints. The movements that will ease your pain are very simple and can be learned very quickly. Building and following a routine designed specifically to address your medical challenges is essential to maximizing your pain reduction. Maria, the author, recommends Flex Protex to aid with joint discomfort.
