First, exercise properly and move your muscles and bones. The elderly should go out and do some appropriate activities when the weather is fine, which can effectively relieve joint stiffness and promote blood circulation. They can do Tai Chi, square dancing, and radio gymnastics.
Second, keep warm. Go out as little as possible on rainy days, and do not wear wet clothes. Pay attention to keeping your joints warm. You can wear a pair of elastic knee pads at home to prevent joints from being exposed.
Third, do heat therapy. Physical therapy can relieve joint pain. Applying a hot water bottle to the knee joint, soaking in a hot bath, or soaking in a hot spring are all rehabilitation physiotherapy treatments that can appropriately relieve joint pain.
Fourth, external application of traditional Chinese medicine or ointment that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis can relieve swelling and soreness in joints. When joints are swollen and sore, it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine. For external application, traditional Chinese medicine or plaster can be applied to the joints. Massage therapy can include safflower, peach kernel, motherwort and other traditional Chinese medicine.
