Move It Or Loose It Keeping Fit & Feeling Fine At Any Age
By: Kim Peterson

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, a moderate amount of physical activity each day can help reduce your risk for heart disease, certain types of cancer, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. It can also improve your mood and feelings of well being. And if that was not incentive enough…
Recent research and clinical trials have confirmed the importance of exercise in the treatment of arthritis. According to Johns Hopkins University:
- Regular exercise can keep the muscles around affected joints strong, decrease bone loss and help control joint swelling and pain.
- Regular activity/exercise replenishes lubrication to the cartilage of the joint and reduces stiffness and pain.
- The therapeutic importance of exercise and physical activity in the management of arthritis is new to many patients and physicians.
- Lack of physical activity/exercise is associated with increased muscle weakness, joint stiffness, reduced range of motion, fatigue and general deconditioning.
- Exercise needs to be directed at the entire body and not just the joints that are affected with arthritis.
- Strengthening the muscles surrounding affected joints helps to relieve pressure on the joint and cartilage
Daily ranges of motion/flexibility exercises are a very important factor pertaining to the health and maintenance of joint cartilage. What difference can exercise make? How about being able to enjoy travel, participate with grand kids & family, to be independent, have an active, functional and rich social life and overall massive quality of life.

This stress away strap is a great tool. My husband uses something very similar which he was given by his physiotherapist. For older people with less mobility, my product provides seated exercise which does similar things. It also helps to improve circulation, flexibility, muscle strength, balance and mobility in the lower body. It keeps the body in alignment while working the muscles and joints of feet and legs. It is a great help for knee and hip problems and packs up to pop in your pocket to carry and use anywhere.
