Exercise strengthens muscles that support joints, reduces inflammatory cytokines, improves joint fluid circulation and maintains cartilage health. Contrary to old advice, exercise does not worsen osteoarthritis.
Start slowly and build gradually. Low-impact activities are preferred as they reduce joint loading. Stop if a specific activity causes increased joint pain.
