<p>Finding movement that works for you while living with joint pain can feel pretty contradictory. That is why Amanda Nelson - a Rheumatologist and Associate Professor of Medicine - joins us to share the importance of finding movement that works to both help ease joint pain and fit within a busy schedule. Especially for caregivers, fitting in time for movement can be a pain in more ways than one, but ultimately strengthening this pillar of self-care benefits our bodies and our ability to show up for the ones we love.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

The Importance of Movement for Osteoarthritis (Abridged Version)

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who dedicate much of their daily lives to caring for a family member, it may seem overwhelming to balance the demands of caregiving, family, work, and caring for yourself. With the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take on the body, it’s important to find ways to maintain your own health. But where do you find the time? And how do you even start? Sometimes all you need to do is go for a walk.  CareWalks is a podcast from Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel and iHeartRadio designed to accompany you on a walk. We know any amount of movement (even just a 10-minute walk) can help your body and mind. So while YOU walk, join our host Holly Robinson Peete as she walks and talks with other caregivers, health experts, as well as others living with osteoarthritis and joint pain. Learn how our own health and well-being is just as important as the health and well-being of those in our care.
