HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP ARTHRITIS
Your physical therapist will assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address all of them. Regardless of the cause of arthritis, physical therapy plays a significant role in treating arthritis symptoms and should be the first step. Your therapist can educate you on how regular physical activity and individualized exercise programs can reduce your pain, prevent the condition from worsening, and improve daily function. Physical therapists can also help you choose healthier lifestyles for losing weight if you are overweight or obese. In addition, your PT can guide you on ways to maintain a healthy weight using diet changes and exercise. In many cases, physical therapy can help patients by choosing specific exercises and designing appropriate strengthening exercises that improve your function without aggravating your pain. Your therapist can help you reclaim a healthy lifestyle. From start to finish, we’re dedicated to your ongoing well-being. On every level, physical therapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life. Contact one of our providers today, and tell us about your symptoms. We offer the results you are looking for!

PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT “Thank You Ross Miles, other therapists and Rehab Advantage for how you helped me recover my health! Before coming to Rehab Advantage, my daily activities were limited or impossible. I walked around holding my painful right arm up with my left hand. I had a very complex diagnosis, and in the beginning, it was unclear what was causing the severe pain in my upper arm. The team worked with me on various exercises. Ross and the others were very patient, attentive and focused on my care. They adjusted as needed and gave “custom-made” care for my difficult problem. When I was introduced to Dry Needling, I was amazed at the quick relief and improved range of motion I experienced. After that, my therapy expanded quickly. I was able to do increasingly harder and more varied exercises until I had a good range of motion back. Ross worked with me the most but all the people at Rehab Advantage are kind and skilled. Going there is like visiting a caring family. I am thrilled with my successful treatment at Rehab Advantage!” - Vicki Allen
