How can I strengthen the joints?

Exercise essential for joints

Regular exercise for joints is important, as it strengthens the particular muscles that support the joint. Although it may hurt to move the joint, but inactivity can cause the joint to become stiff and even more painful. Moving the joints will also maintain strength in the muscles that support them, which will protect them from further damage and pain. Low-impact activity like walking, swimming or biking are recommended. Exercises increase blood supply to joints and surrounding areas.
