Adventuring with Arthritis

If you want to be able to do stairs like you used to- this is the episode for you.

If you want to easily walk up stairs and do it without pain- this is the episode for you. 

Your ability to climb stairs says a lot about your strength and your pain levels believe it or not, according to the research. 

Read the blog post here diving into all things stair climbing and osteoarthritis: https://keeptheadventurealive.com/is-stair-climbing-good-for-osteoarthritis/

It is possible to go to football stadiums and climb a million stairs again. It is possible to go on vacation and not have to worry if there will be stairs or not. The only way to do this though, is to get started….

Not medical advice. Try at your own risk.

As a physical therapist and arthritis specialist, I know that finding pain relief from osteoarthritis is not easy. If you are feeling stuck or spinning your wheels without success with pain relief- I’m glad you’re here. 

One of the biggest challenges I see in osteoarthritis care is actually understanding what causes your pain because this is the gateway to finding solutions. Pain can be triggered by inflammation but there are many things that contribute to inflammation. 

Instead of searching for the best supplements, trying every pain relief cream out there, and even trying every exercise program- it’s so important to understand what is contributing to YOUR pain. This specific plan is mapped out inside the Arthritis Adventure Blueprint.
