The Role of Gentle Exercise in Arthritis Relief

Movement matters. Learn why low-impact exercise can help reduce arthritis stiffness and pain.

When joints hurt, exercise might be the last thing on your mind. But low-impact activity can actually improve mobility, strengthen muscles, and reduce stiffness.

Good options include:

• Walking

• Swimming

• Chair yoga

Pairing movement with targeted topical relief — such as Capsiva — can make it easier to stay consistent without added discomfort.
