Overview
Joint pain can be relentless—throbbing and aching enough to hamper your daily activities, even keeping you from simple pleasures like going for a brisk walk, picking up your grandchild, or playing a round of golf. Pain relievers and cold packs (or hot packs) may offer quick relief, but they're merely temporary solutions.
By contrast, regular exercise can provide a long-lasting way to tame numerous types of ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and even wrist pain. This course shows you how. More than 60 videos demonstrate the right way to exercise the various joints in your body. Each exercise is gentle and safe, designed to set you on the path to improving your mobility and strength.
Remember: Joints tend to be more painful when they’re left idle. As our host, Dr. Mallika Marshall, emphasizes, “Regular exercise can provide a long-lasting way to tame joint pain.”
