which is the best exercise to help with knee pain. i have just signed up with a walk for a charity, i was wondering what would be the best exercise to improve the movement in my knees ,

Hi. I'm new to the group and this my first post/question. Anyone tried using Whole Body Vibration (WBV) - ie one of those plates that you stand on? I'm awaiting delivery of mine, having read quite a lot about the benefits. I realise that I'm going to start gently but really hoping that it'll help with my hip (awaiting…
Hi there! I have osteoarthritis and I have been toying w ith the idea of getting a pair of walking poles. At the moment I get little or no exercise, and common sense is telling me I need to put that right. But my biggest concern is that one of my hips is starting get painful twinges now and then.

I had 2 sessions of hydro (then they changed the time/day and I could not make that) but I continue the exercises in the leisure pool. However I should really be using ankle floats to make it harder.

In London and also dare I ask abroad as I…

I have a booked Long Distance Trek called the W Trek in Patagonia in January 2024, one that I have wanted to do for some time so…
My name is Lucy, age 66 and I hate not being able to do things because of widespread osteoarthritis! Sorry, I’m having a moan but missed out on so much stuff with the grandkids. Recently had a hip op (not a street dance), to repair a tendon on my hip. Recovery is very slow but getting there. I was also diagnosed with…
Hi I have osteoarthritis in both knees and I had a severe flare up in June. My GP referred me to physiotherapy and I thought I would share this tip.
