Low-Impact Exercise for Mobility
Walking, cycling, water exercise, tai chi and other lower-impact activities can support movement while reducing impact stress compared with some higher-impact exercise.
Choose the right level
Low impact does not mean no effort. Progress volume and intensity according to your health, fitness and symptoms.
Consistency matters
A tolerable activity done regularly is generally more useful than an ambitious plan you cannot sustain.
Pain is context, not a universal stop signal
Some discomfort can occur with exercise, but sharp pain, major swelling, instability or concerning symptoms should prompt professional guidance.
