Stiff joints in the morning? Takes a while to warm up? Squeaking as you walk?
Arthritis can be incredibly painful and you often feel ignored by health professionals who just want to pump you full of pain medication. It’s so frustrating and it can feel like there is no way to escape it. The good news is that there is actually lots of things that we can do to help arthritis. Plus when you are stronger your muscles will be able to take some off the load off your joints. But a strengthening program needs to be really structured and closely monitored to ensure you don’t have any flare ups and to target every weak muscle in the system.
