Tai chi or yoga
Yes, we just told you to rest the joints that hurt you, but now we’re going to tell you to exert them more. Basically, what you want is to pamper your joint during the most intense period of inflammation and pain, but make sure you don’t let the whole area deteriorate.
As often as you can do a low-impact exercise routine to improve your flexibility and strengthen your joints as well as surrounding tissues.
Tai Chi and Yoga are the best choices because they focus on the connection between mind and body. Both are of full consciousness and of movement. Not only are they practical to increase the range of motion, the meditation aspect can even help you with chronic pain.
