Arthritis Care and Support
Physical therapy can be a highly effective treatment option for arthritis. Here are some ways that physical therapy can help with arthritis:
Pain management: We can design exercise programs to help reduce pain associated with arthritis. These exercises can include stretching, range-of-motion exercises, and low-impact aerobic exercises.
Strengthening: We can also design strengthening exercises to help support the joints affected by arthritis. Stronger muscles can help take some of the pressure off of the joints, reducing pain and stiffness.
Posture: We can provide guidance on proper body mechanics and postures to help reduce stress on the joints.
Joint mobilization: We can use joint mobilization techniques to help improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
Assistive devices: We can recommend assistive devices such as braces, splints, or orthotics to help support the joints and reduce pain.
Weight management: We can help patients develop a plan for healthy weight management, which can help reduce the stress on the joints and improve arthritis symptoms.
Overall, physical therapy can be a valuable treatment option for individuals with arthritis, helping to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and improve overall quality of life.
