Balance and mindful movement exercise
Exercises that focus on how the body moves, such as gentle forms of yoga or tai chi, also can help. This type of exercise can improve balance, lower the risk of falls and help your body relax.
If you're in an exercise class, tell your teacher about your arthritis. Listen to your body. Don't do anything that causes pain.
