Osteoarthritis (OA) can make movement painful, but staying active is one of the best ways to manage symptoms and improve overall joint health. In addition to structured workouts, simple lifestyle changes like standing up regularly, taking short walks, and performing daily stretches can make a big difference. 

Are you struggling to stay active? Does walking feel like a challenge sometimes? April is Move More month, and this week, we’re talking about exercising with low mobility. Starting with shorter workouts can help you build confidence as you progress. 

Gardening and yard work are more than just chores—they are excellent forms of physical activity that benefit both the body and mind. Whether tending to a small flower bed or managing a large vegetable garden, these activities contribute to a healthier lifestyle while making outdoor spaces more enjoyable.
