This week we would like to spotlight the “Physical Activity. The Arthritis Pain Reliever” campaign which aims to increase physical activity among men and women with arthritis.
The Program Basics
“Physical Activity. The Arthritis Pain Reliever” is designed to:
• Raise awareness of physical activity as a way to manage arthritis pain and increase function
• Increase understanding of how to use physical activity (types and duration) to ease arthritis symptoms and prevent further disability
• Enhance the confidence of persons with arthritis so that they can be physically active
• Increase trial of physical activity behaviors
Messages are added or edited based on research including making sure that it is congruent with the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.…
