As a Physical Activity Volunteer, you will help support people living with arthritis to get active and stay active. It’s natural to want to avoid movement and physical activity when experiencing the pain of arthritis. But not being active can do harm, as our bodies are designed to move. Exercise can improve the symptoms of arthritis, keeping joints mobile, strong, and helping to reduce pain. Physical activity can also help boost mental health and reduce the risks from other conditions.
