Great Tips for Living Better with Arthritis

Keep Moving

Whether an individual with arthritis is trying to get some housework done or they are working on a hobby of theirs, it is far better for them to keep their body moving than to let themselves stay still. Joint stiffness will only get worse and do so quicker if the individual with arthritis does not make it a point to continue using them as much as it is possible and safe to do so. With this in mind, however, it is also in the arthritis patient's best interest to spread out work rather than completing it all in one day. Doing so will help them deal with the consequences of strain and overuse. Thus. they should set a time limit on how long they are going to be active with breaks and mild stretching between each active time.

Remember to keep a positive outlook and continue progressing until what was impossible yesterday is now possible.
