Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It usually presents as bilateral symmetric polyarthritis (synovitis) that affects the hands and feet.  Any joint lined by a synovial membrane may be affected, however, and extra-articular involvement of organs such as the skin, heart, lungs, and eyes can be significant. RA is theorised to develop when a genetically susceptible individual (eg, a carrier of HLA-DR4 or HLA-DR1  experiences an external factor (eg, cigarette smoking, infection, trauma) that triggers an autoimmune reaction. 

The hallmark feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is persistent symmetric polyarthritis (synovitis) that affects the hands and feet, although any joint lined by a synovial membrane may be involved. The severity of RA may fluctuate over time, but chronic RA most commonly results in the progressive development of various degrees of joint destruction, deformity, and a significant decline in functional status. Extra-articular involvement of organs such as the skin, heart, lungs, and eyes can also be significant. 

Optimal care of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consists of an integrated approach that includes both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies. Many nonpharmacologic treatments are available for this disease, including exercise, diet, massage, counseling, stress reduction, physical therapy, and surgery. Active participation of the patient and family in the design and implementation of the therapeutic program helps boost morale and ensure compliance, as does explaining the rationale for the therapies used.

A) ↓ The best mobility exercises*

1️⃣ The World’s Greatest Stretch
2️⃣ Pigeon Pose
3️⃣ Prone Cross-Body Stretch

Remember ‼️

These are advanced and challenging mobility drills and should only be performed after a warm up!

*btw it’s a very subjective opinion 🤪

B) ↓ Science behind the power of hip flexors

Hip flexors, located near the front of the hip, are vital for lifting the thigh towards the torso and facilitating movements like walking, running, and bending.

But here’s the catch ⚠️

Prolonged sitting or neglecting stretching and strengthening routines can lead to tightness and overactivity in the hip flexors.

This tightness disrupts pelvic alignment, potentially causing an anterior pelvic tilt. This tilt, in turn, increases the curvature of the lower back (lordosis), adding strain on muscles like the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum. 👎

Again,

For active people, maintaining healthy hip flexors isn’t just about preventing discomfort or pain in the lower back. It’s about promoting good posture, enhancing overall well-being, and elevating quality of life. 💃🏼 ✨

And for professional athletes, optimal biomechanics and muscle function are non-negotiable for peak performance. Tight hip flexors can be the silent saboteurs, limiting range of motion, power output, and agility. Addressing hip flexor tightness is crucial for injury prevention and optimising athletic efficiency—key ingredients for excelling in sports. 🏃‍♂️✨

Enough of lecturing!

Go and give these a try! 💪🏼❤️
