Let's start with the basics, like breathing. Yes, breathing can really help ease the pain of arthritis. Slow, controlled breathing really relieves the pain of arthritis because your focus shifts to breathing and not on the area of pain. If you combine this with any form of easy stretching like yoga or tai chi, the relief can be phenomenal.
I have some patients who take pilates and one of the things that is taught with those classes is breathing. If you have a lot of arthritis you may not want to do pilates, but you can certainly learn and use the breathing that is taught.
