Arthritis: Treadmill Desks Help Alleviate Pain
According to the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center exercise such as walking is essential to physical and mental health and may play a vital role in the management of arthritis. Regular walking such as that fostered by a treadmill desk can keep the muscles around problem joints strong and decrease bone loss.
Additionally regular walking replenishes lubrication to the cartilage of affected joints thereby reducing stiffness and pain. However, the Center stresses moderation during times of flare ups.
The Center also advises that walking on a shock absorbing treadmill may be the best exercise for someone with osteoarthritis, even in the knees. The TrekDesk Treadmill Desk allows patients to walk as much as they want and complete their work tasks as well.
