Abstract

The many joints in the human body are the sites where arthritis and rheumatism manifest themselves. Knee problems which require knee joint replacements could happen to anyone. It does seem to occur in persons who use their joints repetitively for more times a day than others. Occupations that require this repetitive use include landscape architects, small-scale traditional farmers who use minimal machinery, etc. Intense exercise which includes miles of running daily also can be included in this category of exercising the joints excessively. It is proposed that meditative motions yoga and tai chi be practiced regularly instead for physical health. There is evidence in the published literature that these Asian forms of exercises do in fact improve mental health also.
