It’s no secret that physically active individuals are healthier, happier and live longer than those who are inactive and unfit. This is especially true for people with arthritis. Arthritis is very common and it is an informal way of referring to joint pain or joint disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related conditions and here at Health of the 1st Triad, we’d like to discuss why arthritis patients may benefit from therapeutic exercise.
Common arthritis joint symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness and decreased range of motion. Therapeutic exercise may be useful in improving aerobic capacity, strengthening muscles, improving endurance and increasing flexibility. At Health 1st, we custom design exercise programs to help each person recover faster and stronger. In addition, exercise, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, can improve joint mobility, overall physical activity and may even help you maintain a healthy weight.
If you suffer from arthritis and think you may benefit from therapeutic exercise, please give us a call. To learn more about therapeutic exercise, as well as other services we provide at the practice, visit www.hstriad.com for more information.
