Hi, Teresa

I'm always encouraged by balance advice that promotes "keep moving." I'm a great believer in that. It goes back to my earliest days dealing with arthritis. I would hear people advise "keep moving," but at first I doubted that advice. Then I tried it, and WOW! it really did lessen of not eliminate my arthritis pain. Thanks for this link. I've bookmarked it for ready reference.

Ray, I think you might like this article I found for you. It explains why exercise can help alleviate your arthritis pain, which is caused by inflammation.

That’s a pretty big motivator to keep on movin’. 😉

It’s great that you’re signing up for Tai Chi classes! I think you’ll find it very relaxing and beneficial on multiple levels! Do you feel uncomfortable attending classes in person with Covid climbing again?
