Osteo-Arthritis Fitness
Exercise helps to reduce pain and prevents further joint damage. It can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which puts less strain on your joints. Instructor: Rose L.
Gentle exercise also helps to improve muscle & bone strength, reaction time and reduce the likelihood of falling. Exercise techniques are performed on chairs, using bands, weights, and mini balls.
