    If I have right knee osteoarthritis, do I have to work out my left side as well?   I was recently asked by a patient why he had to work out both sides of his body in physical therapy if only his right knee hurt. I can understand some of the confusion. After all, if your right shoulder were painful and inflamed and required an injection,... Read moreChevron

    Making Exercise Fun: An Important Step in Achieving and Maintaining Fitness

    I have just spent the last hour running on my elliptical machine. I almost didn't want to stop. It is not that I love the repetitive motion that I perform on the machine (though I don't mind it). It is not even that I love the feeling of my heart beating faster and working up a good sweat (though I enjoy that part). For me, the reason I didn't... Read moreChevron

    9 Reasons You Should Join A Gym If You Have Arthritis

    Raking Leaves Without Aggravating Arthritis Pain

    Is raking leaves bad for my knees or lower back?   This is one of my favorite times of year. The air is crisp and the leaves are turning color.
