The Arthritis Pain Reliever

The Arthritis Pain Reliever was created to help people with arthritis learn safe, appropriate exercise to relieve arthritis symptoms. Physical activity is a proven way to relieve the pain and disability associated with arthritis, but many people do not have the confidence or knowledge about how to exercise safely. The Arthritis Pain Reliever will help people with arthritis learn more about the benefits of physical activity and types and amounts of exercise recommended.

Health care providers and public health professionals recommend physical activity for people with arthritis as one way to help manage the condition and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily living. Physical activity can reduce pain and improve function, mobility, mood, and quality of life for most adults with types of arthritis ranging from osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lupus. Physical activity can also help people with arthritis manage other chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
