EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS
EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS evaluates the benefits of a structured execise programme in patients with osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. Peter Oesch, the Swiss chairman of the allied health professionals (European League against Rheumatism) commented on two reports considering the benefits of structured exercise programmes in patients with OA and RA. A meta-analysis of 30 randomised, controlled programmes revealed significant imporvements in pain and physical function in patients with knee arthritis. Studies involving more than 12 supervised sessions proved more effective than those with less than 12 sessions, but both were effective. There was no difference whether the contact was on a one-to-one basis or in a class session. Programs that produced a heart rate of at least 55% of maximum done for at least 20 minutes per week for at least six weeks improved aerobic capacity and muscle strength. Functional ability improved over the long term and there were no deleterious effects. Exercise can also help the leg pain in pregnancy, a common complaint in the chiropractic practice.

ANKLE JOINT PAIN TREATMENT
The ankle joint is amazingly robust. Of course, the enormous stresses and strain on it from walking, jumping, running make it surprising that we don't have more ankle joint pain. It is particularly vulnerable to obesity - as is the knee - when you end up with bone on bone as the hyaline cartilage wears away. It's also vulnerable to injury. We put enormous challenges to our ankles ... look at these two casefiles, one a severe fracture, the other a runner's injury. Ankle exercises ...

SACROILIAC JOINT INFLAMMATION
EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS - yes, the sacroiliac joint too.It was a Swiss chiropractor Dr Fred Illi who first is credited with establishing that the sacroiliac joint is a freely movable joint. Much contrary to medical opinion of the time (in the 1940's) which considered it an immovable joint and incapable of causing low back pain. New medical research now confirms that sacroiliac joint inflammation is probably the cause of about 30% of lower lumbar back pain. At Chiropractic Help we strongly advocate mobilising and adjusting the fixated sacroiliac joint when it becomes stuck, it may well be the cause of your leg pain during pregnancy, and not waiting for that dreaded inflammation to set in. Other research confirms that fixated joints become arthritic joints (called Immobilisation Arthritis). An exercise class benefits arthritis too of course. Hyaline cartilage starved of nutrients first causes pain. If you don't listen, then irreverible degenerative arthritis sets in. Pain is believe it or not your friend. It's trying to tell you something, and just turning it off, or ignoring it, is very silly ... From Chiropractic Tips you'll get some simple exercises to mobilise your sacroiliac joint. If they don't loosen it up, then see your chiropractor. Not in six months' time!

ROTATOR CUFF
The focus of any exercise program should be where you've had injury, or even perhaps a family weakness. Whilst there has been massive research on the lower back which proves that if your mother has lower back pain, there's a 60% chance of you having as bad complications. If your father - 50%. If they both have lower back pain - 90%. We're not sure, but we should presume the same for shoulder problems. These rotator cuff exercises are relatively simple ...

STIFF NECK EXERCISES FOR NECK PAIN
EXERCISE CLASS BENEFITS ARTHRITIS - the neck is particular vulnerable to arthritis, mostly because of trauma and a leg length inequality (short leg) that causes scoliosis. With all the sitting that we do in front of computers, couch potatoes, behind the wheel of the car, simple neck exercises should be on the exercise menu for most of us.
