Cupping guides

Osteoarthritis: what it is, where it settles (hip, knee, hands, foot), the exercise that helps and the role of cupping

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease: the cartilage in the joint becomes thinner and uneven, the joint stiff and aching, especially in the hip, knee, hands, foot and spine. It cannot be cured, but the right exercise reduces pain as much as medication. Here is what happens in the joint, the symptoms, the warning signs, the exercise with the best evidence, self-care during flares and how cupping of the muscles around the joint is used as a complement.
