Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease with Knee Pain

Arthritis and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can cause the immune system to attack healthy joint tissue. This leads to inflammation, stiffness, swelling, and discomfort that often limit mobility. For many, flare-ups can feel unpredictable, making it hard to stay active.

However, regular, gentle movement is one of the best tools for managing these conditions. Exercise helps lubricate joints, strengthen the muscles that support them, and reduce stiffness. It’s important, though, to approach activity in a safe and gradual way to avoid overloading sensitive joints.

With the right support, you can maintain an active lifestyle even with arthritis or autoimmune conditions.

At Elev8 Movement, we specialize in safe, effective movement restoration for clients with arthritis and autoimmune conditions. We design individualized care plans that focus on improving strength, mobility, and reducing stress on the knees while respecting your body’s limits.
