Exercise Aggravates Joint Pain

Myth: Regular exercise that is within your limits and personal level of tolerance can help ease joint pain and stiffness. Exercise strengthens the muscles around your joints and helps maintain bone strength. Adopting a regular exercise routine will help control your weight, give you more energy and help you get a better night’s sleep. Lack of exercise can make joints stiff. Consult with your physician before beginning or increasing your exercise program.
