Pain Relief for Arthritis Sufferers - Pilates
Special Guest Post
by Igor Marcikic
The reason we are sharing this article with you today is
simple – we want to help you deal with arthritis pain. There are a lot of tips
and techniques you can equip yourself with in your fight with arthritis, but
today we want to talk about one in particular – pilates.
What is Pilates?
Before we go on and start talking about the benefits of
pilates as a pain relief technique, I feel like I need to cover the basics.
Pilates is, much like yoga, an exercising routine which
involves numerous stretching and strengthening exercises. The great thing about
pilates is that it is suitable for people of all age and all
fitness/flexibility levels, meaning there are no requirements, you can start
straight away!
The main benefits of pilates are increase in strength, flexibility
and improved range of motion.
Pilates for Arthritis Sufferers
As I`ve said before, pilates is suitable for people of all
age regardless of your physical fitness and the pain arthritis is causing you.
You can exercise on your own terms and go as far as the mobility in your joints
allows it.
Now, we will go over some of the main benefits of pilates
and discover how can it help you with your pain.
Mobility
If you start exercising daily, you will see an increase in
your mobility. Keeping your joints mobile and increasing the range of motion in
arthritis affected joints should be one of your main priorities. By keeping
your joints flexible, you will eliminate stiffness and relieve yourself of
pain.
In addition to this, by constantly moving and exercising you
will, eventually, strengthen your muscles, tendons and the joint surrounding
tissue, thus making your joint stronger and less painful.
Lubrication
With age comes joint deterioration, it is just a fact of
life and we need to be aware of it. When we are young, our joints are well
lubricated and everything is working perfectly, but as we grow older, the level
of lubrication in joints decreases, resulting in increased wear and tear and
pain.
But, once you start exercising, you will stimulate
lubrication within your joints and relieve your pain. Don’t believe me? Start
exercising now and prove me wrong.
Weight Control
Another “miss fortune” (if you will allow me to call it
that) of getting older is that your metabolism slows down. You become less
physically active and, as a result, gain more pounds.
This is where pilates kicks in. The exercises you will be
performing are not that physically challenging, but can give you a proper sweat
and lift your heart rate up. And if you combine exercises with a proper diet,
you will see your excess pounds melting away.
You might be thinking “What does weight have to do with my
arthritis pain”, but there are numerous studies that showed the link between
weight and arthritis pain. Not only that, they also showed that by losing only
a few pounds will result in massive relief to your joints and relive your pain.
That`s it for today, I hope you found this article
informative and motivating enough to help you make that change and add a new
tool to your “arthritis pain fighting arsenal”. God bless…

Our muscles become deflated with age, losing their moisture like a dry sponge. Acupuncture restores the natural internal irrigation so the 'sponge' is plumped up again and the wrinkles disappear. Treatments include addressing the facial muscles directly because the electro-stimulation of the natural electric charge in the muscle re-establishes the natural flow and the charge/discharge cycle. This enlivens the tissue. Fluids can move through as they did in youth. Kathleen's PEMF instrument quickens the process of rebuilding skin and muscle tissue, while improving the face's senses: vision, hearing, brain power, and also alleviating depression, as confirmed in numerous studies!
