In recognition of Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month this September, this episode explores the critical yet often underutilized role of exercise in the management of rheumatic diseases. We examine how structured movement—ranging from step counts to resistance training—can significantly alter the trajectory of pain, function, and overall disease progression. Our discussion offers practical strategies for helping patients integrate physical activity into their daily routines, with a focus on starting gradually and maintaining consistency. We also address the heightened cardiovascular risks associated with rheumatoid arthritis and how targeted exercise interventions can mitigate these risks. Finally, we delve into fall prevention tactics and the use of technology and interdisciplinary care teams to set achievable, patient-centered goals that physical therapists can effectively support.
