Exercising with Osteoarthritis Did you know that physical activity is the best non-drug treatment for improving pain and function? Many people are
worried that being active could cause more pain or even add to the injured joint. Research actually shows that not only
can people who have osteoarthritis be active, but that it is important to be active. Remember that before you start any
activities you should talk with your healthcare provider about being active with osteoarthritis, specifically, what
activities are best for you. Three types of activities are important for people with osteoarthritis: flexibility, endurance
and strengthening activities.
Flexibility: Flexibility activities are also called range of motion activities. Range of motion or flexibility is the ability of
your joint to move through all of the motions that they were designed to do. For many people with osteoarthritis, the
joint has pain and stiffness which make it hard to move. By doing gentle stretching and movements that use the full
range of motion, you can help keep your flexibility. For some, this type of activity could improve their flexibility in the
joint. If you are unsure what your range of motion is, talk to your healthcare provider.
Endurance: These types of activities are also know as aerobic or cardio activities. These are important for
strengthening your heart muscles. Recommendations are that you should do endurance activities 150 minutes a week.
This breaks down into 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Contact your healthcare provider to discuss which types of
endurance activities would be best for you.
Strengthening: When you do activities that improve the strength of your muscles, your muscles can better support your
joints. This can be important, especially for joints that are affected by arthritis.
Stress can also affect osteoarthritis. When a body is stressed, it becomes tense. This tenseness can increase pain and
limit your ability to move your joints. By not moving your joints, you
may experience further pain and stress, creating a cycle. Physical
activity is not only good for your body, but research has also shown
that physical activity can help reduce stress. Being physically activity
can be an effective non-drug treatment for persons affected by
osteoarthritis. When thinking about starting some regular physical
activity, first talk with your healthcare provider to make sure that you
do not have any limitations.
