Arthritis can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in your joints, making daily activities difficult. Physiotherapy is a key component of managing arthritis effectively. Our goal is to help you manage your symptoms, maintain your mobility, and improve your overall function.
How Physiotherapy Can Help with Arthritis
While there is no cure for most types of arthritis, physiotherapy can make a significant difference in your quality of life by:
- Reducing Pain and Inflammation: Through gentle exercise, manual therapy, and modalities like heat or cold therapy.
- Improving Joint Mobility: With specific range-of-motion and flexibility exercises.
- Strengthening Supporting Muscles: Strong muscles take pressure off your joints.
- Teaching Joint Protection Strategies: Learn how to perform daily activities in ways that minimize stress on your joints.
Your Personalized Arthritis Plan
We work with you to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and addresses your specific type of arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis). This may include:
- Low-Impact Aerobic Exercise: Such as walking or cycling, to improve fitness without stressing joints.
- Strengthening and Flexibility Program: A customized routine of exercises you can do at home.
- Education: Information on your condition and strategies for self-management.
