Exercising with Arthritis
Following up on our earlier discussion, let’s look at the most common joints that are effected by osteoarthritis (OA) Hips, Knees, Fingers and Feet.
Symptoms
Hips – Pain in the groin or buttocks and sometimes the inside of the knee or thigh.
Knees – A grating or scraping feeling when moving the knee.
Fingers – Bony growths (spurs) at edge of joints. Can cause fingers to become swollen, tender and red.
Feet – Big toe feels tender & painful. Ankles & toes may swell.
We all know there are many over the counter drugs to help ease pain and inflammation, as well as, certain modalities such as massage, acupuncture and surgery. But, let’s talk about the four techniques that you can & should do to take control of your body.
So far, this year has been a major shock to us all. To cope we need to find some solid ground to work from.

I was looking at things the wrong way and realized that this is a chance for us all to reset and be in the moment.
We need to find our own way and look at this time as an opportunity to build a solid foundation. Disregard what doesn’t matter and find balance.
