Would anyone recommend this product for senior citizens with arthritis?

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

I am 72 years old and have both Rotator cuff and knee problems. My trainer introduced me to Resistance Band training and I'm so impressed I'm buying a set to use at home. For work on your Rotator Cuff ask an experienced trainer for the specific exercises you need (I went to Physical Therapy). Start light and then gradually increase the resistance and number of reps. This process should be pain free. If it hurts, lighten the weight or the number of reps. For arthritis, I advise start light, and just work through any discomfort.

Welll it would help with stretching the muscles and tendons which is good. Giving you more range of movement and extra strength to lift things.

Absolutely, especially if you have shoulder problems. Try the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder if you need some good exercises to use them with.

no they don't this is a great product for arthritis, I can truthfully say it helps my husband tremendously since he cannot take anti inflamatory meds

I too have arthritis, but not so much in the hands...as another comment says, it depends on how much is in the pot!

I've suffered from Arthritis and Osteoporosis for a few years now. I have used this product for several years for healthier joints but it does seem to assist with my overall pain.

I'm really sorry. I've been really ill and don't much about this product as I purchased it solely for my 77-yr old father. I hope you find the answer that you are looking for.

I don't know. It seems to help my arthritis in my wrist & thumb when nothing else worked.

I think it works a little better for joints. A friend of mine with arthritis got good relief. Dilute 1:1 with oil and rub directly on joint area. Use it 2-3 times a day if necessary.

I actually buy (or have bought) this product for senior dogs with joint issues/pain...and it really makes a difference. I may start taking it myself soon... I am in my 50's and am having joint pain (esp.knees and ankles). Read the bottle info or go to product website to see if there are any "age" restrictions or drug/food interactions to be aware of.

Johnny Bench says it will! It worked wonders on my wife's arthritis, she is a different person now with greater use of her hands and no more daily pain. It takes at least two weeks of 3 times a day applications before noticeable relief occurs. Then use when needed. In our case it works great. With all your pain I would say for $12 it would really be worth a try!

Not sure about this for arthritis. I would recommend Dr Christopher's Formula Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment or their comfrey ointment.

My bottle has an expiration date of 7/2010. I take 2 tablets at breakfast and 3 at bedtime for my arthritis pain. It works great in eliminating it. I also don't eat concentrated sweets (candy, cookies, cake, or dairy) all which add to arthritis pain, and I exercise regulary. If you want to really eliminate arthritis pain, consider doing this as well.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

I'm 72 and have arthritis and it was still difficult for me to use especially on soup cans. That was the reason I purchased the opener. For me it was too short and wide for my hand to hold and push it properly. My husband has arthritis too but it did wrk for him.

I am not sure how effective they are with arthritic knees because I do not have arthritis, however i do think they would be benifical. Extremely supportive with any compounding movements. I would recomend voo voo mobility floss bands. They could help with your knees

I have noticed how much limber my joints are. 69 years and was hurting a bit. This product which I have been taking for about 90 days now seems to have made life a little more "bouncy". Hope this helps

As far as I know, it is not intended to be used over the joints for arthritis pain, though it wouldn't hurt to try it. It is a skin cream. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I had to chuck it.
