Best Exercises to Relieve Joint Pain

by Universalwellnesssystems

In addition to pain, joints may become stiff, swollen, and sluggish. Even the simple act of getting out of bed in the morning can be a daunting task. Walking, climbing stairs, sitting and standing can all accompany these symptoms.

So if these simple tasks can lead to joint pain, why would someone with joint pain want to exercise? This is because blood flow to the area increases. In turn, this reduces discomfort. Additionally, exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good.

Here are some simple exercises that you can do regularly to relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling while improving your mobility.
