Exercise Diminishes Arthritis Symptoms

Scenario Home Care Elderly and Senior

Did you know that exercise can make your Arthritis less painful?  Contrary to popular belief, the right kind of exercise prescribed by your doctor will lessen the symptoms of Arthritis, an inflammatory disease of the joints.  Exercise is usually a major part of the doctor’s treatment plan for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of the disease because it strengthens the muscles around the affected joints so that the body weight won’t put so much stress on the bones.

A-1 Home Care’s certified nurse assistants, home health aides and Licensed Vocational Nurses will be there to help seniors overcome their initial reluctance to exercise.  Proper range-of-motion exercises, leisure walks around a nearby park, and endurance/ aerobic exercise are all made possible by the presence of a caregiver companion.  Our companions will aid your loved one in following a strict diet to manage weight, which in the long run will lessen Arthritis symptoms.
