Are there particular sports or exercises that a person should avoid if they have knee, hip or joint pain?

As with most things in life, it is important to listen to your body. If a particular exercise results in the patient experiencing pain – they should stop and determine that they are using correct posture and body placement. Generally most people should be able to partake in walking, cycling and swimming without pain. These are always good “go to” options. It may be best to avoid jarring and high impact forms of exercise if you are experiencing localised pain – again, yoga and pilates are a great way to keep moving.
