Looking After Your Joints
Joint Care
When you have joint pain doing everyday tasks often makes the pain feel worse. You can reduce the strain on your joints by changing the way you do everyday things.
Joint care doesn’t mean not doing anything, it is doing things differently to reduce strain on your joints. This will help reduce pain and stiffness and help to make every day tasks easier.
Everyone should look after their joints, but it is especially important for people with arthritis.
These videos will help explain how to care for your joints so that you can reduce pain, feel less tired and manage every day tasks
