What Is Arthritis, Exactly? Before knowing how to relieve arthritic pain, you’ll need to understand it. Arthritis—or the painful stiffness, or inflammation, of joints—isn’t a single disease. The term “arthritis” is an informal explanation of joint pain and disease in general. Over 100 types of arthritis exist, asserts the Arthritis Foundation. People of all ages, races and sex can get it. It’s also the leading cause of ongoing disability in America.

ARTHRITIS AND PHYSICAL THERAPY
Regardless of the cause of arthritis, physical therapy serves a purpose. At Austin PT we will work to correct bad habits and postural patterns that contribute to excessive wear and tear on one side or both sides of the body. The combination of physical therapy, modalities, and medication for inflammation as needed can help restore your pain-free movement and functional ability. During Physical Therapy you can expect to undergo exercises specified to your needs to restore your strength, mobility, symmetry, and gait. In the cases of post-operative rehab following arthroscopic cleanups you will be shown how to restore your mobility and strength to normal. It will be important that you consider making exercise part of your daily life as well as healthy eating habits to maximize the benefits of PT. If you or a loved one suffers from arthritic pains, you have options. As one of the few Aquatic Therapy centers in North Alabama, using warm water allows your loved one to function at levels that are not possible outside of water. Contact Austin PT to learn more about your options!

“I was referred to Austin PhysicalTherapy by my primary physician due to knee pain. I have been very pleased with my progress! Mike is an excellent therapist and very patient with me. It’s amazing to me that my knee is so much better due to these exercises and breathing techniques! Mike makes me work and sometimes it’s painful, but in the end, it’s what I needed to get my
knee better! Jordan is wonderful setting up my stem treatment and that makes my knee feel so good! My knee is feeling the best it has felt since the first of the year and that’s with only 3 weeks of therapy!! Thank you all so much!!” - J. S.
