Exercise is one of the most important treatments for people with osteoarthritis particularly those waiting on hip and knee replacement surgery. If your condition causes you pain and stiffness, you may think exercise will make your symptoms worse. However, regular exercise that keeps you active, builds up muscle and strengthens the joints and usually helps to improve symptoms. Regular exercise is also good for losing weight, may improve your posture and relieves stress, all of which can ease your symptoms ☺️
