Make The Move

Exercise: The right moves to control your arthritis

Having arthritis does not mean having to sit still while stiffness and soreness hold you back. On the contrary, moving your limbs and joints with regular exercise is fun, easy, social and provides more physical benefits than you can imagine.

There's nothing better for your health than exercise, and it's easier than you might think! Whether you jog lightly around your neighborhood, go to a warm water exercise class, walk briskly through the mall, or just flex your hands or feet; even simple regular exercise keeps you limber and strengthens your joints.

The New York Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation provides a choice of two enjoyable therapeutic programs to help you get all the benefits of regular exercise, as well as the benefits of an environment where lots of people just like you are moving toward better flexibility and joint strength.
