THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE for people living with arthritis cannot be overstated. Joint pain and muscle weakness associated with arthritic conditions can be very limiting. You may feel that exercise is secondary to coping with chronic pain, but regular exercise can yield tremendous benefits. Even when results aren't visible or obvious, exercise can lessen the consequences of inactivity. Exercise should be part of a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
