4. Resistance Band Training

Resistance bands are very popular among people with injuries, and patients with arthritis should try them too. Resistance bands are stretchy strips of rubbery material that can help to make normal stretching more of a workout. This can make them good tools to intensify leg and arm stretches. For example, you can hold the resistance band firmly in both hands, stretching it out when you reach forward or side to side. You can also stand on the middle of the resistance band, forcing it away from your body when you stretch your legs. Your physician will be able to recommend resistance band exercises that would most benefit you based on your affected joints.
