1. Shoulder joint

First, shake your hands, then stretch one arm from the front of the same side from the side of the neck to the back, with the palm touching the back. At the same time, stretch the other arm from the side of the same side to the back, with the fingers touching the back. Try to make the two hands intersect at the back.

2. Elbow joint

With your palms facing up, raise your arms horizontally, then make fists or bend your elbows so that your fingers touch your shoulders, then quickly extend your palms or elbows, and repeat several times.

3. Knee and hip joints

Lie on your back and stretch your lower limbs as much as possible. If there is contracture or deformation, you can apply a little external force, but do not feel pain. Or alternate between squatting and lifting your legs forward. Repeat 10 to 20 times each time, 2 to 3 times a day.

4. Ankle exercises

Sit down and perform flexion and extension as well as bilateral rotation exercises on the ankle joint. In addition to the patient's limb joint movements, the purpose of joint movement can also be achieved with the help of equipment such as dumbbells, pullers, joint mobilizers, etc.

If you have rheumatism, you can soak your feet to relieve the pain

Foot soaking is suitable during both the acute and chronic stages. It can enhance the blood circulation of rheumatic patients throughout the body. Assisted by proper massage of the patients, it can promote blood flow in local joints and relieve pain. If targeted Chinese herbal medicines are added, the therapeutic effects will be more complementary.

You can also use medicine prepared by a doctor to fumigate the joints, control the slightly hot water temperature at around 50°C, once a day, each time for 20 minutes.

If you have rheumatism, you can use moxibustion to relieve the pain

Acupoints: Ashi point (pain is the acupoint, which people often say "pain is the acupoint"), Shenque point (navel), Mingmen point, Zusanli point and other acupoints.

Moxibustion method:

1. Use the square four-hole moxibustion box, adapt yourself gradually, start with two moxa sticks, then increase to three, and up to four moxa sticks. Perform moxibustion step by step. Each moxibustion lasts about 10-20 minutes. You can move the moxa up and down the acupuncture points, and the heat is based on your own adaptation.

2. Use four moxibustion cups for moxibustion for about 20-30 minutes. You can also move the cups up and down. Wrap the cups with a towel and apply moxibustion. The heat should be adjusted according to your own needs. Do not overdo it to avoid moxibustion sores.

Note: Physical therapies such as moxibustion, acupuncture, cupping, massage, and Tui Na should all select corresponding appropriate acupoints to be effective.

If you have rheumatism, you can use hot compress to relieve the pain

Rheumatism can cause joint stiffness or swelling. Applying a hot towel to the painful area can effectively relieve the pain. Due to the principle of "thermal expansion and cold contraction", the blood vessels will be "expanded" by the hot air, which can accelerate blood circulation and reduce swelling. It should be noted that the towels used by the elderly should not be too hot. Because their joints are already painful, the elderly will be more sensitive to external stimuli. If the towel is too hot, it will easily cause skin burns.

When rheumatism strikes, you need to rest to relieve the pain

When sudden joint swelling and fever occur, you should move as little as possible and it is best to rest in bed. When resting in bed, try to avoid pressing on the painful joints. You can use a quilt frame to prop up the quilt.
