Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune inflammatory arthritis that if it is not treated it can slowly destroy the joints of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, knees, ankles and feet.
Medication and anti-inflammatory diet are the most important methods to stop the disease and avoid joint destruction.
Exercises are used in conjunction with medications to preserve the function of the joints, to avoid disability, to improve morning stiffness and to reduce pain.

Thank you so much.❤
Thank you very much ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. It's interesting to learn that exercise was once thought to be harmful for RA, so I'm glad to know that's not the case anymore. These routines look helpful.
The description 'silent thief' for osteoporosis is really insightful. Given it often goes unnoticed until a fracture, what proactive steps can individuals take to assess their risk before any symptoms appear?
Are these helpful if the joints are already pretty locked up? I can’t straighten my fingers and can barely move my wrists.
saved me
These excersise need to do while having paining or after once getting pain manageable?
