Difficulty walking with arthritis pain? Try this to help you keep up!

To master walking…

You essentially have to be really good at standing with your full weight on each leg. That’s what walking is!

You take a step and transfer your weight as you lift the back leg and swing it forward. Then you take another step and repeat the process 🔁

If you have arthritis pain in your hip, knee, ankle, back, or foot- you may notice a limp because your body wants to get off the painful side as quickly as possible - or may not even want to out full weight on that side 🫠

But you can rebuild both confidence and strength! 💪🏽

This is a simple movement to get started with to start building up your confidence ☝🏽

Use support like a wall or kitchen counter when first starting and work away from the support as your able. Don’t lean to one side- if you find yourself leaning- you may need more support ☝🏽

Try to build up to 20-30 steps forwards and backwards. As you get better start building up to 50-60- but only if it feels good ✅

Start with your stronger side to get the hang of it then move to the more difficult or painful side 🙌🏼

You can do this!!
