Gardening can be the ideal activity for someone with arthritis. You might even say it’s the perfect hobby for people with physical limitations. Being out in the sunshine, moving and putting your body through its range of motion, tending to flowers and plants that will inevitably bring joy and boost positive feelings — does it get any better? But, you have to be able to do it. The right garden equipment is necessary.
You should look for garden tools that are lightweight. They should feel good in your hand. Some are designed with extra attachments built on the tool to add support at the elbow and take pressure and stress off of the hands. There are different approaches to consider as well, such as raised flower beds or container gardening. Assess where your difficulties lie and look for solutions. There are many ergonomic garden tools available. Here are a few for you to consider and then you can look beyond these to find even more.
