Exercise can help Osteoarthritis
Latest draft guidelines out today from NICE highlight the importance of exercise in help Osteoarthritis. Just like grey hair most people will show signs of wear and tear in their joints as they age. Sometimes this can lead to pain which then makes exercise more difficult.
It is important to try and address any pain by using painkillers such as ibuprofen or a painkilling gel on the area and then seek advice from a health professional such as a physiotherapist or chiropractor as they can help alleviate some of your pain and get you back to exercising again.
Obviously if the arthritis is too bad then a replacement would be best, but the more you can stay active and keep your muscles strong, the quicker you will recover from a replacement.
Exercise is so important through out lives. As we age our muscles can become weaker so it is more important than ever that as we age we keep doing strengthening exercises as well as aerobic ones.

I have been going to Attend2Health for many years to address various back and joint problems. All of the chiropractors and … More osteopaths I have seen have been brilliant, as are the reception staff. In the past few months osteopath Meghan Carolan has been helping me with a problem with my right shoulder which was very painful and had limited movement. Following my last visit my shoulder is now almost fully functional again and the pain much reduced. So many thanks Meghan.

On separate occasions earlier this year, I suffered a painful trapped nerve in my arm. I saw physio Joanne the first time … More and osteopath Meghan the second. I received excellent treatment and advice from both and with just a couple of sessions they sorted me out each time. More recently Meghan has been treating me for very painful sciatica. Initially I was in agony and could barely walk, even with the aid of a stick. I had one treatment a week and by the third session I was virtually out of pain and walking normally. Meghan also gave me specific exercises to do at home and was a pleasure to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I have problems in the future. Big thank you to Meghan! And to all the staff at Attend2Health who make it a friendly, welcoming place to visit.

Having hurt my back on holiday I went to Attend to Health for first time and saw Megan the Osteopath and I can't speak … More highly enough about her. She has been amazing. After 4 sessions she has got my back back to normal. Having limped in there 4 weeks I am now walking properly.
Can't speak highly enough about Megan and she's such a lovely lady and always has a smile on her face.
As I left She said "keep doing your stretches!". And I will.
