Living with joint pain can have a big impact &#8211; not just on a person\u2019s physical health, but on their mental health as well.<\/p><p>A key way of managing joint pain and arthritis is through exercise. This doesn\u2019t have to be rigorous exercise in a gym or running, but can be as simple as stretches and exercises that are done from home to keep painful joints moving.<\/p><p>By moving a painful joint, you encourage the essential synovial fluid within the joint to keep moving and bringing in essential nutrients. Furthermore, by moving painful joints you increase the strength in the muscles around them, allowing the joint to be better supported.<\/p><p>Living with arthritis in the feet and ankles can often leave you feeling frustrated by simple tasks you were once able to do but now cause you significant pain. So we\u2019ve found 7 simple exercises and stretches that can start to build strength and help support the joints in your feet and ankles.<\/p><p>As with all exercises, listen to your body and only do what you feel comfortable doing. A little bearable pain when you begin is okay but if it starts to hurt more, stop immediately. If you are unsure, please consult your GP or a trained healthcare professional. If you have not done any exercise in a while, take it slowly and do not put your joints under any strain you do not feel you can take.<\/p><div><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/stores\/page\/53B69056-8894-43AE-B323-12201EE21E56?maas=maas_adg_6BA77B66EF57859C26455895E9F4B0B5_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas&amp;ingress=3&amp;visitId=bd7d1436-d7c8-4119-add2-950f9c0c4693\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/flexiseq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image_12_480x480.webp\" alt=\"Flexi SEQ banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"88\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div><div><h3>1.
