Staying active can play an important role in managing rheumatoid arthritis, especially when it comes to protecting joint health and mobility.
Recent research highlighted by EatingWell shows that regular, low-impact exercise can help reduce pain, improve function, and slow joint decline, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the knees. The study reinforces what many rheumatology specialists already recommend: movement, when done safely and consistently, supports both joint health and overall well-being.
For people living with RA, exercise does not mean pushing through pain or high-intensity workouts. Activities such as walking, strength training, stretching, and low-impact movement can help improve stability, reduce stiffness, and support long-term joint health when tailored to individual ability and disease activity.
As always, patients should talk with their rheumatology provider before starting or changing an exercise routine to ensure it aligns with their condition and treatment plan.
