Leader in joint pain relief stands with
caregivers help recognize their value and provide pain relief and
movement resources.
WARREN,
N.J., May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 53
million Americans provide care to family members or loved
ones,1 but an overwhelming 4 out of 5 Americans say that
pain has affected their caregiving abilities.2
Caregivers dedicate so much time and energy – both emotionally and
physically – to taking care of others, and the day-to-day realities
of caregiving can involve a lot of physical labor and heavy lifting
that may lead to aches and pains. In effort to help caregivers
combat pain, Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel is partnering with fitness
instructor and TV personality Amanda
Kloots to create a series of exercises designed specifically
to help caregivers alleviate pain and discover the joy of
movement.
As part of the initiative, Amanda is creating a series of three
thoughtfully designed workout routines that target and strengthen
different areas of the body that are susceptible to pain when
caregiving, like legs and arms. Presented in bite-sized, snackable
formats on Instagram Reels, the exercises are custom created to fit
the needs of caregivers and can be incorporated easily into their
daily routines.
"Caregivers do so much for others, and it's important to
celebrate them and encourage them to give back to themselves
through movement," Amanda Kloots
said. "I'm excited to be working with Voltaren to develop these
exercise routines. All of the moves will not only be effective at
keeping them moving strongly and safety, but they are also super
easy to incorporate into a caregiver's busy daily routine."
"The physical demands of caregiving tend to go overlooked, when
in reality caregiving requires a wide range of physical movements
that can bring on joint pain," said Stacey
Harris, Vice President of Marketing, Pain at Haleon. "As a
trusted, world leader in pain relief, Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel
is dedicated to helping people with arthritis, and is proud to
support the 53 million unpaid caregivers1 in the
U.S."
Voltaren is on a mission to help unpaid family caregivers
recognize their own value, leading to a renewed journey of physical
health. In addition to their partnership with Amanda, Voltaren
conducted a series of intimate interviews with caregivers using
cutting edge neuro-technology to explore how they perceive their
value. During the interview, the caregivers wore an EEG headset
that mapped their brain responses, measuring wellbeing based on
brain wave changes in levels of stress, relaxation, excitement,
engagement and attention. Results of these interviews and brain
scans found that caregivers experienced a 36% increase in their
wellbeing after hearing from their loved ones about their value as
a caregiver.*
Millions of Americans experience joint pain as a result of their
arthritis. As a world leader in arthritis joint pain relief,
Voltaren is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people
living with joint pain due to arthritis. For powerful arthritis
pain relief, Voltaren delivers the triple effect of relieving

About osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. OA occurs
when the cartilage between joints begins to break down and wear
away, resulting in joint pain and stiffness. OA occurs more
frequently with age, and the pain can gradually worsen over time.
The most common symptoms associated with OA include joint pain,
stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
