Yes, and many do. There are approximately 37 million Americans with arthritis today and many are active. Regular exercise is extremely important in controlling some of the symptoms of arthritis. Proper exercise helps keep joints flexible, build and preserve muscle strength, and protect joints from further stress. Our medical fitness specialists and physical therapist can determine the specific exercise program for each individual depending on the type and severity of the arthritis.
