💭 Health Topic of the Week 💭 OSTEOARTHRITIS
1 in 11 of us, or a huge 9.3% of Aussies have osteoarthritis, or OA for short. So, it's no surprise that it's the most common form of arthritis out there. OA is a chronic condition in which the cartilage in our joints starts to break down, generally causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and a loss of mobility. It can affect just one or many joints, including knees, hips, shoulders, and hands. Unfortunately, OA usually worsens over time and becomes more prevalent as we age, making daily tasks and activities that we enjoy more difficult and painful to do -- including exercise 🏃However, research tells us that exercising with OA has a range of benefits, including:
💥 Relieve pain, short- and long-term
💪🏼 Increased muscle strength which supports joints
⬇️ Reduced joint stiffness
😄 Improved quality of life
Our Exercise Physiologists understand that exercising with OA can be a scary prospect - that's why we're ready to guide you through it! So, if OA is in your way, have a chat with us at Coordinated Fitness to get started on your journey 💪🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
