8. Physical Therapy

Getting active – and staying active – is one of the very best treatments for arthritic joints. But to get the most from strengthening, flexibility, and aerobic exercises, you’ll need to work with a physiotherapist who can guide you through precise movements, and monitor your form.

Physical therapy is good for any type of arthritis, and is incredibly customizable: regardless of your range of motion or level of strength at the outset, you will see improvement as you build up your fitness in every way. The major risk with exercise and physical therapy is doing too much, too soon, so be sure to stick with low-impact routines and rest when you need it.
