MANAGEMENT
2. Exercise:
• Exercise can assist with weight loss, the maintenance of
muscle strength and the mobility of arthritic joints.
• Activity at a level that does not cause pain is not thought to
worsen osteoarthritis.
• Non weight-bearing exercises such as swimming or aqua
jogging in a heated pool may be beneficial.
