Making Movement Accessible with Inflammatory Arthritis, with Jamie Boder

About this episode

Cheryl Crow and Jamie Boder discuss how to adapt movement for individuals with inflammatory arthritis, focusing on accessibility and personalization in fitness.

On this episode, Cheryl sits down with personal trainer and yoga teacher Jamie Boder to explore how movement can be adapted for people living with inflammatory arthritis. Drawing from both his professional expertise and lived experience with axial spondyloarthritis and Crohn’s disease, Jamie shares how traditional fitness spaces often fail to meet the needs of fluctuating, unpredictable bodies. Together, they break down practical strategies for making exercise more accessible, sustainable, and personalized, from modifying movements to rethinking “progress” beyond just doing more.
