Although many people with osteoarthritis avoid exercise for fear of increased pain, there are several arthritis-friendly exercises that will help to alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms.
Water therapy, yoga, stretching and strengthening, walking, prone lying, and deep breathing are simple ways that people with ankylosing spondylitis can stay active and keep their joints flexible.
Keeping an arthritic shoulder immobile can increase pain. Incorporating shoulder stretches, like the towel stretch, crossover stretch, and overhead stretch can help to keep blood flowing, build up the shoulder muscles, and maintain the shoulder's range of motion.
