I do not know of any specific research that shows that the Bullworker helps

arthritis.If anyone else should know of such research I would be interested to

know of it.In general terms however exercise can help certain types of

arthritis,improve mobility and strength,reduce pain etc.As a former exercise

instructor many claimed and could plainly see improvements in their condition as

the result of guided gym sessions.I think that it likely by extrapolation that

the Bullworker could also have positive results.Ed

,as a postscript to the above a net search will provide you with multiple

references that show the positive effects of exercise upon arthritis.I realise

that not only you but many people experience this condition at some time during

their lives {including some on this forum}.To select one reference amongst a

host that give information about the beneficial effects of exercise try

searching for Arthritis Queensland which gives a summary of the positive results

of exercise for those with arthritis.It also gives recommendations of a wide

range of types of exercise that can help including strength training.Hope this

helps you and any other interested users of the forum.Regards.Ed

I cannot cite any research, but I can speak anectdotally. I used to lift

weights. Did some tournaments, had a lot fo fun and got really strong. Then

lyme disease led to arthritis and I wound up being pretty much incapacitated as

far as exercise went. I could barely walk and my orthopedist told me I would

never lift again. After a couple of years of inactivity I bought a Bow Classic

out of desperation. I didn't really understand how it could be of any value,

but like I said, I was desperate. I started using the Bow Classic and was very

pleased with the return of my strength and some real muscle mass. Because I was

using it isometrically, I wasn't limted by joint pain or the lack of cartilege.

Then I bought the SteelBow and expanded my routine. Later I bought a couple of

X-5s (I keep one at the office.) I will never go back to weight-lifting, but I

can say that I feel much better being able to exercise again. I am able to get

that good feeling I used to get after a heavy workout with weights - and I get

that after only a fraction of the time. Did the Bull Worker cure my arhtritis?

- Of course not. But it did considerably improve the quality of my life in a

way I had been unable to previously because of the arthritis.
