The number one myth about shoulder arthritis, and arthritis in general, is the belief that exercise makes the condition worse. Many people assume that moving a joint with arthritis will only worsen the pain and damage it further. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, research has shown that regular exercise can significantly alleviate shoulder arthritis pain and enhance overall joint function.

One of the most beneficial exercises for shoulder arthritis is shoulder circles. Shoulder circle exercises are great ones to do every day, but make sure to progress slowly so it doesn’t get inflamed.
