keeping joints moving!!

Now I have finished with my Physiotherapy my thoughts have moved to how do I keep my new knee and other joints moving? I learned through the class I actually enjoyed using the exercise bike and thought it was a good tool for helping with my new knee, now I actually miss using the bike and have been thinking about going to a gym to keep my progress up with learning to use the knee and keeping my joints moving, it's a good way to get out of the house and met new people so it's something I certainly will look into.

How about hydrotherapy some NHS hospitals used to do that, I don't know if they still do and swimming? Swimming is low impacted that's good for joints It's important to remember not to push yourself to hard and make yourself ill.

Ajay, there used to be 2 hydrotherapy pools by me but now are both closed. I can't go swimming without someone 'buddying' me due to me being Epileptic and finding someone to assist me in the daytime let alone evening is impossible!!

I can totally relate to your concern. To keep my joints moving smoothly, I've found that regular low-impact exercises work wonders. Activities like swimming, cycling, and gentle yoga are great options. They help maintain joint flexibility without putting excessive strain. Additionally, incorporating joint-specific exercises like leg circles and shoulder rolls into my routine has been beneficial. Remember to warm up before any exercise and avoid overdoing it – listen to your body!
