If we can get people with arthritis over the initial pain barrier by addressing their pain and getting them more active, they will actually have less pain in the long term. |
People with arthritis are not meeting physical activity recommendations made at the federal level and by experts in the arthritis field. That's not good, because we know that being more active is beneficial for arthritis. |
We can't tell from this survey which came first - the inactivity or the problems with function. But we do know that getting people with arthritis active actually improves function. |
