Exercise is a simple thing that helps most women with rheumatoid arthritis feel better, including women who are going through or have been through menopause.
It gives you more energy and joint flexibility, eases depression, and fights heart disease. It curbs the weight gain and insomnia that often come with menopause. Weight-bearing exercise helps protect against osteoporosis.
Your doctor or a physical therapist can work with you to create a fun, safe exercise program.
