Exercise has a significant role to play in helping people living with osteoarthritis, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says in draft updated guidelines. Clinical evidence shows that when people with osteoarthritis are offered tailored exercises, such as muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise, they can achieve good health outcomes.

Healthcare professionals should support people with osteoarthritis and who are overweight by helping them choose a weight loss goal to help manage symptoms. Losing weight can have a significant impact on health outcomes for a range of conditions, but it can also help to reduce joint pain for people with osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is caused by changes in the whole joint that can cause discomfort and pain. It is the most common form of arthritis, and one of the leading causes of pain and disability worldwide.
