5 Exercises for Knee Joint Arthritis

Описание: Today’s video covers five exercises for knee joint arthritis that can be used to help reduce pain, increase mobility and strength and improve function.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is degenerative condition of the cartilage present in our joints and most commonly affects the knee and hip. Symptoms usually include pain, swelling, joint stiffness, limited range of motion and difficulty with many functional tasks. Severe pain or functional loss associated with OA of the knee or hip often leads to joint replacement surgery.

Many individuals with OA are told that exercise will harm their joint(s) and encouraged to avoid many activities. While it is important to respect one’s symptoms and progress gradually, it should be known that properly dosed exercise can actually improve the health of cartilage. Furthermore, strengthening the muscles that surround a given joint can actually help to reduce stress on cartilage and other sensitive structures.
