If you have joint problems like arthritis, herniated discs, instability you’ll learn in this video some simple suggestions to strengthen those joints and keep you moving in a safe and health yway.
How to Exercise Weak Joints Safely – Especially for Arthritis Type Conditions
Main Points:
- Avoid moving the joint under heavy weight or with strong force
- Strengthen the muscles around the joint by tightening them without repetitive movement or limited movement – think isometrics / holding tension in muscles without movement.
– (Isometrics are done in static positions, rather than being dynamic through a range of motion.) - Loosen the joint gently in a circular fashion (clockwise / counter-clockwise) without lots of weight or force.
- Good health is about good circulation. Joints need to bend to increase circulation and improve joint health. A compromised joint, that is weak, could result in injury if repetitive movement is done with too much weight and force.
