Yoga can help you maintain joint strength
and flexibility which means you can
minimize the inflammation, swelling and
pain. If joints are not properly stretched
and strong, they can suffer from permanent
damage caused by arthritis. Yoga can help
you keep joints healthy and strong. You
need to choose the right yoga posture
according to your condition. Over the
years, yoga has become a very broad term
and includes a variety of forms. It's best
to work with a qualified yoga instructor
who understand arthritis and can recommend
the right yoga exercises for you.

Physical activity is an essential part of
the effective treatment of osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis. Yoga can be a
meaningful and enjoyable alternative to
traditional forms of exercise. It can
increase muscle strength, improve
flexibility, enhance respiratory
endurance, and promote balance. Yoga is
also associated with increased energy and
fewer bodily aches and pains.

Perceived benefits of exercise on osteoarthritis Posted: 04-15-08 06:56am
Hi,
I'm doing my final research project on
people's perceived benefits of exercise on
osteoarthritis.
It just entails filling out 2 short
questionnaires.
