Exercise Is Essential for Osteoarthritis: The Many Benefits of Physical Activity. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2018 Jun;48(6):448 Authors: Abstract For people with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), many high-quality research studies show that exercise therapy is very helpful in decreasing pain and improving joint motion. If you have hip and knee OA, you might not be getting enough physical activity and exercise throughout the day to stay healthy. A commentary published in the June 2018 issue of JOSPT highlights the importance of learning about the benefits of physical activity and exercise for improving your OA pain and preventing other chronic health conditions that often develop in those diagnosed with hip or knee OA.
