Although it may feel a bit counterintuitive, trying to maintain an active lifestyle will help strengthen your joints and ligaments, hopefully allowing your muscles to stay strong enough for proper movement. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight is another way to keep excessive stress and pressure from further degrading your affected joints. Consider finding a physical therapy program that will help you identify your needs and help you overcome the challenges presented by osteoarthritis. Dietary changes can also serve to provide a nutritional basis for joint health as well!
