“I Don’t Let Arthritis Slow Me Down!”
The pain of arthritis is actually caused by inflammation that builds up irritating the surrounding tissues and muscles, or in severe cases nerve endings on exposed bone. Whether you experience arthritis in your knees, low back, shoulders or neck, if your joints don’t move like they use to, this causes further rubbing and increased pain.

By restoring normal joint movement and improving muscle strength, the amount of excessive pressure on the joint canbe relieved.
