Knee Exercises for Arthritis

Knee Osteoarthritis is a common problem with a variety of moderately effective treatments. Exercise is one of these treatments that is often ignored. For my patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, I recommend using an exercise bike 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes at a time. If you are consistent about this simple regimen, you'll likely improve your walking ability, decrease you pain and burn enough calories to shrink your waistline. Adding in hamstring, quadriceps and achilles stretching and you have a simple yet effective program that should improve your quality of life without any medication.

Try it and let me know how it may work for you.

Always consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program. That is a disclaimer for all the lawyers out there.
