For instance, leg raises for hip arthritis, squats for knee arthritis, or finger bends for hand arthritis. • Education and Adaptation: Our physical therapists also educate our patients on how to adapt their lifestyle and daily activities to manage their arthritis better and prevent further joint damage.

Arthritis disorder can be challenging, but it’s not a signal to give up on your active lifestyle. Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, affects millions, causing joint pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis often creeps up silently. It usually begins with mild soreness or stiffness in your joints, particularly after periods of inactivity or excessive use. Common signs include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, loss of flexibility, and sometimes a grating sensation. The key is identifying it early and engaging in a comprehensive physical therapy program at The Physiotherapy Center LTD to manage symptoms and maintain mobility. Physical Therapy at The Physiotherapy Center LTD: A Hands-On Approach One of our skilled physical therapists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and use it to develop a personalized exercise program. Our programs are tailored to your specific needs and form the cornerstone of managing arthritis disorder effectively. Here’s how physical therapy can help: • Strength Training: Strengthening the muscles around your affected joints can provide support and alleviate stress on the joint. This might include weight training or using resistance bands, focusing on major muscle groups. • Low-Impact Aerobic Exercise: Our team will guide you through activities like walking, swimming, or cycling to boost your overall fitness without putting too much strain on your joints.
