Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your overall health, but it can feel challenging when you’re living with an orthopedic condition like arthritis, back pain, or a past injury. At OrthoCare360, we encourage patients to move safely and confidently—because inactivity can often worsen symptoms.
Why Activity Matters
Exercise can reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, strengthen muscles, and boost mental health. Even small amounts of movement can make a difference when done consistently and safely.
Common Barriers to Movement
- Fear of re-injury
- Chronic pain or inflammation
- Lack of guidance on appropriate exercise types
- Limited mobility or balance
Safe Ways to Stay Active
1. Choose Low-Impact Activities
Swimming, cycling, and walking are gentle on the joints and ideal for those with orthopedic concerns.
2. Stretch Daily
Gentle stretching increases flexibility and circulation while reducing stiffness.
3. Use Proper Footwear and Support
Wearing supportive shoes or braces can stabilize joints and prevent falls or further injury.
4. Consult a Specialist
Talk to your orthopedic provider before beginning a new exercise routine. They may recommend physical therapy or specific exercises suited to your condition.
