If chronic inflammation is under control, you can exercise however you want, as long as it's not causing more pain. However, if you are having a flare-up or active PsA, you should focus on lower-impact activities, such as walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates and tai chi. There is currently no evidence that exercise improves PsA, but it does have the following benefits:Strengthening muscles around joints that are chronically inflamed and unstable.Improving cardiovascular health, because PsA patients are at higher risk for heart disease and metabolic syndrome.Enhancing mood and positivity, which can benefit anyone with a chronic illness.
