Arthritis comes in many forms, but exercise can be beneficial in its treatment. Physical activity can reduce stiffness and increase muscle strength and flexibility. Three types of exercise are most appropriate: strength training; range of motion, which pushes the body to stretch and move; and aerobic activities. Learn more about exercise and arthritis at the upcoming arthritis expo.
