Could Exercising Reduce the Risk of Bone Disease in Arthritis? Know more.

Before knowing how exercise affects patients in arthritis it is important to know the mechanics behind the mechanics. A joint allows movement of two bones at their meeting point and cartilage is a firm cushion that covers the ends of the two bones, absorbing shock and enabling the bones to glide smoothly over each other. The joint is wrapped inside a tough capsule filled with synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the cartilage and other structures in the joint and keeps them moving smoothly.

Your joints are joined by ligaments joining one bone to another and these bones are attached to the bones by tendons. While contracting your muscles pull on the bones to make the joint move. Arthritis is a musculoskeletal condition which affects the normal functioning of the joints, muscles, bones and surrounding structures. Patients diagnosed with the disease experience intense pain, stiffness and inflammation in one or more joints or muscles, though exercising regularly can reduce many symptoms of the disease in order to improve your joint mobility and strength. The sturdy structure called the skeleton is what supports the whole body and maintains the rigidity that is required for everyday function and the robustness. The bones are strong but are still susceptible to damage, wear and tear and general deterioration due to illness and old age.  The joints in the body whether which include your limbs and the rest of the parts have some form of flexibility that helps in the bending of different parts. Exercising could regulate and spring them to function smoothly.
