The Catch 22 of Exercise and Joint Pain

Joint Pain Treatment — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:54:06 +0000

For many suffering from joint pain, the last thing that they want to do is exercise. The thought itself sounds painful. When your body is in so much pain at rest, it’s hard to imagine that it can endure hard work. The problem is, however, that suffering from joint pain / arthritis can be greatly improved by exercising. Not random exercising to achieve specific relief, but rather consistent exercise. Most people erroneously believe that this needs to include running miles or an excruciating workout. The reality is that engaging in ‘gentle’ workouts and gentle stretching can dramatically improve joint pain. So give exercise another look to achieve relief.

Joint Pain Can’t Mean No Exercise

If you are living with chronic joint pain, it’s likely the cause is not exercise alone. Acute joint pain may come from overuse, but the tendency to give up on exercise by those suffering from chronic joint pain is not good. The problem is that, in many ways, working out can help ease joint pain. The boost of endorphins throughout your body after exercise plays a similar role as taking pain medication. Not to mention the supplemental benefits you need for your entire body to stay healthy. These same endorphins have worked as well as Prozac for people suffering from mild depression. Of course follow the standard rules of proper hydration and good warm-up and cool down sessions.

If you are part of the 1 in 6 Americans suffering from joint pain due to arthritis, you may want to consider a moderate exercise routine. We’re not talking running 5 miles here, but a nice 30-minute, 5 days per week routine. Many people suffering from joint pain do not feel that they are in a ‘condition’ well enough to exercise. There is a real fear that exercise will only exerbate existing joint pain or cause new joint pain. These are dangerous assumptions, though, because the reality is that a moderate exercise plan can actually reduce joint pain over time.
