Healthy joints are a luxury whose value is difficult to assess to someone who has never experienced pain when walking and did not feel any difficulty in trying to raise an arm or a leg, turn around or sit down. Meanwhile, millions of people around the world annually seek help from orthopedic doctors with such complaints.

About 30% of people sooner or later face the pathology of the joints: even if they managed to avoid injuries or serious illnesses in their youth, the "shelf life" of the skeleton comes to an end to the elderly age. In addition to people of advanced age, those at risk are those who have inherited weak joints of the bones, as well as athletes, workers suffering from obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Can Artroser help ?

Physical exercises are useful at any age and in any state of health. They help to keep the body and brain in a tone, not allowing a person to "deoxidize." It is proved that regular physical activity heals the body, prolongs life, raises mood. Even simple walking can be very useful if you walk daily. Depending on the state of health, some loads must be limited or eliminated altogether, but this does not mean that you can not go in for sports at all - it is tedious to choose the right exercises and do them with an eye to your sensations. This is also true for such common diseases as joint diseases. Arthritis and arthrosis often develop due to insufficient loads, not only because of excessive loads. But what if the problem already exists with the joints, and I would not want to aggravate it?

First of all, the pain in the joint does not mean that you need to move to a sedentary lifestyle, although doctors do not recommend unnecessarily loading the sore spot. On the contrary, specialized exercises are necessary, since if the muscles around the joint do not train, they will begin to weaken, which in turn will lead to a further decrease in limb mobility (if knee joint or elbow joint). The correct way out of this vicious circle is one - reasonable loads under the supervision of a specialist. In no case, with joint diseases can not overstrain, contraindicated games such as football, volleyball, basketball - sharp movements for the benefit of joints will not go. Also avoid hypothermia. The optimal option will be therapeutic gymnastics, which will help not only to strengthen the joint itself, but to make the tissues around it more strong, reducing the burden on the joint itself. One of the risk factors that can worsen the course of the disease (and also trigger its onset) is excess weight - and gymnastics will also help fight it.

Any exercises should be performed on the recommendation of a doctor or a specialist in therapeutic physical culture. He will help to choose a set of movements that are best suited for problems with a specific joint, will show how and what muscles need to be strengthened, what to do so that the sick joint does not become overextended. Exercises for problems with limb joints are first shown on a healthy limb, and then the patient is connected. Movements should be slow and smooth, doctors advise them to sit or lie when they are done. You need to start with a small load, gradually increasing it. Neither in the process of gymnastics, nor after its end, the joint should not hurt.

If there is pain in the joint, and they are not associated with an acute condition, which should stop the load - in this case, the patient is shown the means that will remove pain, so that it does not interfere with the activities and does not reduce the quality of life. Chronic pain syndrome, which is accompanied by chronic inflammation, is characteristic, for example, for osteoarthritis. Doctors do not recommend in this case to refuse physical exertion, as regular exercises improve the function of the joints and reduce the intensity of pain.
