MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE ๐ฆดโจ
If you're living with arthritis, the last thing you might feel like doing is movingโbut thatโs exactly what your joints need.
Staying still can lead to more stiffness, weakness, and pain. On the other hand, gentle, regular movement helps lubricate joints, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation.
โ
โMove it to l**e itโ โ motion increases synovial fluid to nourish and protect your joints
โ
โUse it or lose itโ โ inactivity leads to muscle loss and joint stiffness
You donโt need high-impact workouts. Try:
๐ถโโ๏ธ Daily walks
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Light resistance training
๐ดโโ๏ธ Low-impact cardio (like cycling or swimming)
๐ Simple joint mobility exercises, such as:
โข Knee extensions โ great for arthritic knees
โข Shoulder rolls โ reduce upper-body tension
โข Thoracic rotations โ maintain mid-back movement
โจ Start where you are. Move in ways that feel safe. Keep it consistent.
