I have arthritis in knees and hips, what exercise is good as so far exercise has caused me to have increased pain in my joints?
Hi,
There is no cure for arthritis but there are a number of treatments that can help slow down the condition’s progress including regular exercises that don't put excessive pressure on your joints such as:

I also have arthritis in hips and knees and started a Shibashi Tai Chi class three weeks ago. It is gentle and I am managing it very well. Lots of information at taichi18.com if you can't get to a class. I am also using a rowing machine once a week (lowest level of effort!) and can now do 10 minutes (started off at 2 mins). Have definitely seen an improvement in flexibility of joints but still need painkillers.
