Modlich Monument Company has hired a branch manager<br />
to oversee memorial sales and operations at Hannigan<br />

Exercise key to helping arthritis<br />
Exercise can be beneficial in the treatment of arthritis, say many<br />
doctors.<br />
Physical activity can reduce stiffness and increase muscle strength<br />
and flexibility. It also has overall health benefits, such as improving cardiac<br />
fitness and physical endurance. Three types of exercise are most<br />
appropriate for those who have arthritis:<br />
•Strength training: Strong muscles help support and protect joints<br />
affected by arthritis. Lifting weights can provide this.<br />
•Range of motion exercises: Dancing, tai chi, Pilates, swimming,<br />
and other activities that push the body to stretch and move help maintain<br />
normal joint motion and relieve stiffness.<br />
•Aerobic activities: Activities such as brisk walking, bicycle riding,<br />
skating and more are good for the heart. They also moderate weight,<br />
which in turn puts less strain on joints, particularly the knees. Some<br />
studies show that aerobic exercise can reduce inflammation in some<br />
joints.<br />
Before beginning an exercise program, discuss with your doctor<br />
what activities might be right for you.
