How it works
Exercise strengthens muscles that support joints, reduces inflammatory cytokines, improves joint fluid circulation and maintains cartilage health. Contrary to old advice, exercise does not worsen osteoarthritis.
Start slowly and build gradually. Low-impact activities are preferred as they reduce joint loading. Stop if a specific activity causes increased joint pain.
Exercise is the single most evidence-supported treatment for osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain. Meta-analyses show it reduces pain comparably to NSAID medication.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
