Arthritis will get worse the
longer you sit around and baby the
pain. Ask your practitioner to
give you exercises SPECIFIFCALLY
suited to the affected parts of
your body. Research has found that
range of motion exercises are the
most effective for the alleviation
of arthritic conditions. GENTLE
stretching is absolutely necessary
at least three times a week to
regain & retain mobility. A bi-
weekly session with a physical
therapist, and/or a masseuse who
specializes in range of motion and
joint movements is highly reco-
mmended. Acupuncture can also
lessen arthritic pain and relax
stiff joints. Also, consider con-
sulting with a Chiropractor.
Remember - KEEP MOVING!

FOR ARTHRITIC KNEES
Put six ice cubes in zip-lock
bag and apply above and below
knee for twenty minutes at a time.
according to Germantown Medical
Center researchers, ice water
cools down pain.
NOTE: Consider possible emotional
causes for your arthritis and any
other chronic pain or condition
you might be suffering from. A
trusted counselor may be of help
here.
