Foot Arthritis Exercise Program
Quick Answer: Foot arthritis exercises focus on maintaining motion and strength without overloading joints. Daily: gentle ankle circles, toe pulls/spreads, ROM exercises, calf raises (modified), and aquatic walking when tolerated.
Pain Management Rule
“Mild discomfort during exercise OK; severe pain or pain lasting >2 hrs after = back off.” Aquatic exercise is excellent for arthritic feet.
FAQ
Should I avoid exercise?
No — disuse worsens arthritis. Just modify intensity and use joint-friendly options.
