Can You Stay Active With Arthritis? A Guide to Keeping Moving

If you have arthritis, there is a good chance someone has told you to “take it easy.” While rest can be helpful after certain activities, many people are surprised to learn that avoiding movement altogether is often one of the biggest mistakes they can make. At Kriz Physical Therapy, we regularly meet active adults who have slowly stopped doing the things they love because they believe arthritis means their active lifestyle is over. The good news is that many active adults discover they can continue enjoying the Florida lifestyle they love with the right approach.
