Exercise plays a vital role in a therapeutic approach to arthritis. Many patients are discouraged by the pain and stiffness in their joints, but exercise can help to prevent joints from becoming even more stiff and painful. This is because it actually keeps bones, joints and muscles healthy. Without exercise muscles become weaker and bones can become osteoporotic.
