Being diagnosed with arthritis isn’t something the doctor or the patient is ever happy with.

Walking: 

Weightwatchers that losing weight goes hand-in-hand with reducing the pain and regaining the flexibility of your joints that are suffering from arthritis.

Chair Leg Raises: Lesley Hlad, a doctor of physical therapy in the arthritis rehabilitation service at Duke University’s Center for Living in Durham, said in an interview with Health.com that the chair leg raises helps you control your range of motion with your legs and less with your arms.

Pilates: Tresa Sauer, a personal trainer at the YWCA of Minneapolis, was kindly able to explain to Health.com that doing Pilates is a great way to stabilize and strengthen your joints. She suggests that people suffering from arthritis should do the shoulder bridge exercise.

Wall Squat: William Oswald, DPT, a physical therapist and clinical instructor of rehabilitation medicine at NYU Langone Health, mentioned in an interview with WebMD that strong muscles will support and strengthen your joints. He adds that strengthening the lower body can take some pressure off the hip and knee joints.

Exercises to Avoid: Oswald also added that for those who are suffering from arthritis, they should avoid high-impact exercises to start. For example: do not jump on a treadmill and start running at full speed, you need to ease your muscles and joints into it. He adds that the impact could stimulate the cells that are repairing the cartilage.
