One of the primary symptoms of osteoarthritis is pain that worsens during activity and improves with rest. We hear a lot about the importance of exercise and physical activity to build strength, endurance, and improve range of motion. But what about rest? When should you rest? How long should you rest? Is it ever a bad thing to rest when you have osteoarthritis?
Rest is a simple, non-drug remedy for osteoarthritis pain. Sometimes we overlook a treatment option for osteoarthritis that isn't complicated or expensive because we assume it won't work. Get advice from your doctor about resting and then work it into your routine. Learn more about the benefits of resting in Will Rest Ease Osteoarthritis Pain?
