Anyone else have spondylitis? Or arthritis? Suggestions for good stretch DVD's that help maintain range of motion and improve flexibility and balance? My hips are screaming lately and I'm wondering if a good stretching routine would help reduce pain and improve the balance and flexibility issues...

    Towards the bottom of this page is a few flexibility exercises. I found this website when I was incorrectly diagnosed with AS. There are some diet tips as well.

    Hi,

    I dont have spodylitis but do suffer from similar issues. I stretch at least two dedicated hours per week and it really does help.
    I cant help with the dvd,I use the one from the p90x programme,but there are plenty of programmes available on the net.
    When im having a bad day mobility wise,I always get some stretching done and next morning I feel so much better.

    I have Arthritis and fybromialgia and I have found that keeping moving is the only thing that helps, If I skip a day at the gym or don't do much my body aches. My Dr wants me in yoga but I am a big guy and it just doesn't seem like some thing I would do in a class. My Dr said the PX90 yoga is fantastic and funny I didn't get it yet but been thinking about it.

    I've been attempting pilates. It's starting to help a little but there are days that I can't do them.
