Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune inflammatory arthritis that if it is not treated it can slowly destroy the joints of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, knees, ankles and feet.
Medication and anti-inflammatory diet are the most important methods to stop the disease and avoid joint destruction.
Exercises are used in conjunction with medications to preserve the function of the joints, to avoid disability, to improve morning stiffness and to reduce pain.

I am so sorry, you must suffer so much. My mum got RA at 19 in 1964 and has suffered so much. So much of her joints are now metal and pins. First her hands then, hips,elbows, knees, eco and her knees have now been replaced 5 times. She is now at 76 in a wheelchair. If only these therapies were available sooner of course. My sister, brother and I born 1, 3 and 4 years after her diagnosis and our father who left, it was so difficult for us all. I hope you all find comfort in this technique and are living without too much pain. I am lucky I don’t have it. x

Thank u Dr I was diagnosed with RA following my first Pfizer vaccination. I did not have RA but this vaccination has changed my life by introducing inflammation in my hand fingers writs elbows and shoulders. I want to thank u for showing the exercises which I will do but have to check with physiotherapist for my thumb exercise. May u be blessed with long and happy life thank you

I was diagnosed with Sero-negative RA 16 years ago. Sadly, none of my rheumatologists have ever recommended exercises. This always seemed odd to me. I even asked them directly if physical therapy would help. I was told no. Thank you so much for sharing these exercises with us. The tendons in my hands, wrists, and feet are very tight and painful. It makes daily tasks very difficult. I have often wondered if my diagnosis is inaccurate because the tendon pain and cramping feels worse than the joint pain. Thanks again for all that you do. You’re helping more people than you realize. 🙏💖

Thank you so much! I'm 20 years old and I've been diagnosed with RA a few months ago so I feel kinda lost. I've been looking for some exercises because sometimes I can't write properly, I hope this helps.

I had thumb joint surgery on both hands. Both failed with 4 months. Now I’m looking at a second surgery on one hand. The doctor who did my surgery didn’t tie them tight enough. I’ve so much pain, I’m beyond myself. I’ve been doing a lot of these exercises by myself before I even found that I should be doing them.
