Movement

A routine activity schedule is part and parcel of anyone’s lifestyle. Exercise should
be incorporated within this daily schedule as a mandatory activity. However, osteoarthritis
patients should seek advice from a health professional so as to customize the exercise
chart adequately and effectively.

To reduce stress on the joints, the muscle and ligaments should be strengthened.
This is even more pertinent for joints affected by arthritis.

For patients suffering from knee arthritis (gonarthritis), following types of sports
are particularly suitable:

  1. Cycling
  2. Power walking
  3. Aquajogging
  4. Swimming
