Most of the time,the problem is because of sedantry life style.Next is how one sits in chair.In olden days chairs were made with seating height higher,so the soles never was earthed.The legs were left to dangle free,there by giving room for some activity for the joints,Unfortunately under the name of evolving designs and futuristic styles these were compromisedToday in most places one will find more than 90% of people sitting at seats during working hours,which can be attributed to the changing life styles.Of course it keeps the orthos and other specialists busy making more money.Simple things we have to learn by looking back and incorporating and not fall prey to myth of convenience/futuristic concepts.These concepts though marketed well only bring more problems.Best way is excercising,sitting on high backed chairs keeping the legs activity is better.AT times to avoid the problems of varicose veins its suggested keep legs in elevated positions while relaxing,its within us to get these incoporated for better living which doesnt cost us anything.

There are a legion of reasons for arthritis and joint pain. Leading a sedentary life and lack of physical are some of them. I can vouch for yoga for avoiding arthritis and joint pain. I'm 67. I had been doing a simple but regular yoga and walking ever since i remember. This practice of yoga and walking led me to lead an arthritis and joint pain free life.

Hi,
If it is Rheumatoid arthiritis,osteoarthiritis,ankolysi ng spondelytis or gout arthritis(all involving pain in joints) any physical activity including Yoga should done in moderation,under strict supervision of a Yoga specialist.A slight
ireegularities may increase the pain and even fasten the de-generation.those who already practice this Yoga or outdoor games including atheletics are always advised to stop/slow down(as a part of life
style modification).Physical activity though not restricted completely.Arthiritis commonly involves the damage or worning of smooth covering of bones.Thus,we get pain.In osteoarthiritis, for example ,is primarily caused in weight-bearing zones(e.g-knee)-even restricted walkingmay be advised.
