Arthritis affects about 50% of American adults 65 years or older. And 1 in 4 seniors may develop painful hip arthritis by age 85.
Typical symptoms include pain, aching, stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints. One of the most effective ways to reduce these painful symptoms and improve mobility is to exercise and stretch regularly.
