Healthy TidbitsArthritis affects more Canadian adults than cancer, heart disease, respiratory conditions and spinal cord trauma.
Osteoarthritis, the most common of all arthritic conditions strikes 1 in 10 Canadians and is among the most commonly diagnosed chronic condition in this country today.
Arthritis is the most common of all joint disorders.
In a 2009 poll commissioned by the Arthritis Society of Canada, almost two-thirds of Canadians living with arthritis reported that they believe physical activity poses the risk of aggravating their symptoms. Many remain sedentary in an attempt to keep their joints comfortable but this is a dangerous misconception.
In fact, strengthening the muscles, ligaments and tissues surrounding affected joints can diminish pain, increase mobility, improve flexibility and promote long-term health. “The benefits of physical activity for people with arthritis are remarkable,” notes Dr. Joanne Homik, Chair of The Arthritis Society’s Medical Advisory Committee.
