Stretching Arthritis Pain Away

Stretching Arthritis Pain Away

Stretching correctly provides an easy method of reducing arthritis pain that takes only minutes each day. Done properly, these stretching regimens serve to enhance and speed the healing process by reducing pain and increasing mobility.

Note: If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you should not

engage in stretching unless you have discussed this with

your physician. These tips are mainly for osteoarthritis sufferers.

Knees

The knees are one of the favorite targets for osteo-

arthritis. As such, you should spend a little extra time stretching them. Here are some good stretches for the knees.

While sitting in your favorite chair, with your knees in

front and your feet directly below your knees, move one

foot at a time out in front of you (without lifting your

foot off the ground). Slide your foot forward and leave

it in that position for about ten seconds. Next, move

this foot back into position below your knee.

Repeat this about 5-10 times and then move over to the

other foot. This is especially good after you have been

sitting for a long period of time. You can do this

several times daily and should only take about 10 minutes

each day.

This low-impact exercise is going to help with pain

reduction and increase your mobility.

Wrists

The wrist is one of the most active areas of the human

body. Wrists are a favorite target for osteoarthritis,

but fortunately can be easily exercised.

Sit at a table and place your forearms out in front of

you at rest. Clasp your hands together and intertwine

your fingers. Now, bend both wrists to the left and hold

that position for about 5-10 seconds. Repeat this motion

about ten times. Next, do the same exercise only this

time bend to the right. This exercise provides enormous benefits in terms of reducing pain in the wrist area.

Now, add two more steps. While sitting in that same

position with your arms extended in front of you and your

hands intertwined, just lift your arms up toward the

ceiling and hold that position for 5-10 seconds before

lowering them back to the table.

Remaining seated, now remove your arms from the table and simply place them out into an open space. Slowly move your arms downward toward the floor and hold that position for a few seconds. Then, raise your arms back up into a level position. Repeat that procedure the same number of times you did when stretching upward.
