Treatment of arthritis by changing habits

Proper nutrition and reduction of excessive body weight reduces the unnecessary burden of your joints, and will contribute to your overall health and wellbeing.


To prevent the pain when carrying out daily tasks, it is necessary to implement minor changes in living habits:

• heavy objects lift from squatting not bending,
• Lift objects with the use of both hands,
• do not turn around while lifting objects,
• avoid lifting cargo above shoulder level,
• arrange the burden you carry equally on both hands,
• have sufficient rest
• sit with both feet on the floor with the knees in the height of thighs and firmly leaning back
• if the work at hand is done by sitting, stand up and take a walk at least every hour,
• If you must stand in one place, lean alternately to one or the other leg
• walk upright and wear comfortable shoes
