Can you exercise if you have rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, or an autoimmune disease?

In this Rheumatology 101 conversation, Dr. Isabelle Amigues is joined by pediatrician, running coach, and founder of Mindful Marathon, Dr. Michelle Quirk, to debunk one of the biggest myths about exercise and chronic pain.

You'll learn:
✔️ Why exercise is one of the best treatments for inflammatory arthritis
✔️ The biggest myth keeping people with chronic pain from moving
✔️ How to safely start exercising—even if you're starting from the couch
✔️ Why walking may be the perfect first step
✔️ How running can improve heart health, mood, sleep, and inflammation
✔️ The connection between exercise, autoimmune disease, and longevity
✔️ Why consistency matters more than intensity

If you've been avoiding exercise because you're afraid it will damage your joints, this episode may completely change how you think about movement.
