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. He recommended that I walk barefoot on a sandy beach as it will help my balance and joints. Obviously no good if you don't live near a beach but I wondered if anyone else has had this advice from a healthcare professional and if so, has it been beneficial?
I am lucky enough to be able to get to a sandy beach so I hope to try it soon. I'm not sure about this when the weather gets colder!
