Arthritis
Posted in Fitness, Medical, Yoga on September 3rd, 2010 by Health & Fitness Guru – 2 CommentsArthritis – There are more than 100 types of arthritis, but the most common type is osteoarthritis.
Symptoms include painful stiff swollen joints in any part of the body. The pain is the result of wear and tear on cartilage, the gel-like shock-absorbing material between joints.
When cartilage wears away, bone grinds against bone.
Although you can develop osteoarthritis at any age, it usually occurs in people over 45, and is more common among women.
Other forms of the disease are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
